My Samsung Messages app keeps closing. I've restarted my phone multiple times. I've gone to Settings > App Settings > Messages > Storage and hit Clear cache and Clear data. When I do this, the space used for cache and data go down to 0, but then immediately go back up to the original storage amounts when I reopen Messages.

I found a previous conversation about Messages crashing in Dec 2023 and tried following the instructions but when I held down the power button and volume up with the phone turned off, the phone restarted as normal, even though I held them down until after the Samsung logo disappeared.

If I can't fix it, can I install a different app for

My Google storage is 94% full. Could that be connected?

I refuse to have Gemini or Bixby in my messages. SMH. Break if it was working fine is the message I'm getting from this.

Neither does Google. Those are speech to text and that algorithm has been made simple enough to be processed on phone

Also having this issue on my Z Flip 4. I prefer the original messenger over the Google one, so I guess I'll just wait till they fix it? Super annoying...

Had this problem.. Saw in recent community post that if you find the Google Meet app. Long press, then select Disable, that will fix the problem. Worked for me. Not sure what is happening with Google and Samsung Messages but this all started yesterday

Mine just started this a couple of hours ago. I tried this after reading your post, and it seems to have worked on my Galaxy S24 Ultra. Thank you for sharing.
