I resisted getting the new update on my Galaxy S23 (until I was forced to update) because the updates cause so many issues. This was no exception. Two major things I've noticed so far that I need assistance with, please:

1. My "Groups" in my "Contacts" that I've created have disappeared. How do I get them back? 
 
2. In text messaging, I use the audio text feature often. When I try to use it, when I press on the audio icon, a message comes up saying "Message has Been Canceled" or something like that. Would you please tell me how to make this feature work again? 
 
Thank you!

Sure - what should I send a screenshot of? Another major issue - I just tried to shut my phone down and it won't allow me to do this. AI GEMINI wants me to talk to it when I try to shut down. The way the phone used to shut down was to press the bottom right button for a few seconds. Please assist! Thanks so much!

If you scroll further down, groups should be there. Recently added you can force it to go away by tapping on each contact ( I think) otherwise it will go away in a couple of days.

Audio feature I can't help you with, I use Google Messages, everything wirks.

Yes, you can get rid of recent contacts by tapping on each one. I had this happen with the beta and that was the fix.
