Google messages delayed and disappear

[sailormoonstar33]

Is anyone else having issues with google messages? I've been having issues since yesterday with my messages taking before to send even with wifi on. Then they would disappear. Some would go through. I restart my phone about 10 times yesterday. I dislike that they are forcing us to using google messages.

Not noticed it have you got all the updates or tried clearing the cache

I have. It's just the oddest thing. It happened again today. I'm not sure what's causing it.

Have you noticed any signal issues only thing that comes to mind that's left to check oh when you send a text does it give a message like not sent or anything or looks like was sent under each text there's little icons below the words first is sent second is read third is lock or checkmark thing means using rcs

When ever I send a text a tiny little clock with appear. And it would be a good few minutes before it would send and then the little double checks would appear. Some text would send faster than others. If I moved to another app the messages would disappear and not send. Sometimes they would send and then not at all.

Sounds like service or network issue that's what I call buffering kinda like if you reload a slow web page maybe get simular thing on screen beat advice is to refresh your signal either do a network refresh in connections or take Sim card out for minute while phone is on and see if that helps

1. Clear Cache and Data: Go to Settings > Apps > Google Messages > Storage and clear the cache. If that doesn’t help, try clearing data, but remember this may remove stored messages if they aren't backed up.


2. Check RCS Settings: Open Google Messages, go to Settings > Chat features, and make sure RCS (Rich Communication Services) is properly connected. Sometimes, RCS features may cause delays if the connection is unstable.


3. Reset Network Settings: Go to Settings > General Management > Reset > Reset network settings. This can help if connectivity is the root cause.


4. Update Google Messages and Google Play Services: Make sure both Google Messages and Google Play Services are updated, as recent patches might fix the problem.


5. Try Alternative Messaging Apps: If you’re looking for alternatives, Samsung Messages still works on most devices and supports RCS as well. You can set it as your default messaging app by going to Settings > Apps > Choose default apps > SMS app.



If issues persist, you might want to report the bug in the Google Messages app under Help & feedback so Google can address it in future updates.

Most of those are wrong. It's solely about your # 2.
