Well I downloaded Google messages to try it out and see how it is and like I already knew it deeply sucks, I can only send messages but I can't receive them at all from anyone not even my other phone

Galaxy S22I have been using Google messages from its inception and never have not been able to send or receive messages, so I guessing there's some misconfiguration in your settings. Is it possible your incoming is going to spam & blocked? Have you rebooted your phone since you switched over? All the messages that are currently in Samsung Message should also be synced with G-Messages and should be populated in the app.
If you have a PC or laptop, try pairing Google Messages with your web browser and see if you can send/receive from there (maybe it will jump start the process). Once of the things I like best about G Messages is the web interface so that I can actually use a real keyboard to type out messages.

Galaxy S22It's actually not at all complicated. I do not know why you are not receiving messages once you switched to G Messages, but you should be. I don't know the configuration of your phone and what else is going on that might be interfering. I only know that if you are not receiving messages, it is something with your device, not the message app.
It is not complicated to optimize, restart your phone, or access the web interface. If you have spam protection on in your messages settings some or all of your messages may be ending up in the spam folder - click on your initial and go to spam and blocked and see if anything is there. If there is, mark them not spam. If you don't want spam messages separated out, turn off spam protection. I switch between messaging apps all the time in order to help people troubleshoot, and all my messages are concurrently in both apps.
No one is forcing you (yet) to use Google Messages, but the new protocol is going to be RCS, which Samsung Messages is not going to have, so you will either be forced to switch then, or you will really no longer receive messages.
You might also try uninstalling Google Messages, rebooting your phone and re-installing it. You could go to the app settings/storage and delete both the data and the cache and see if that improves anything. Go to the app settings on Samsung Messages and empty the cache.
It really doesn't matter to me which app you choose to use, I'm offering you suggestions for troubleshooting, which I guess you feel is too complex for you.
