Messages app crashing

[Papyrus16]

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 am having the same problem. It started yesterday. I restarted the phone, I cleared the cache and data. But nothing worked. It's very frustrating.

[Gigi468]

Yes correct it started. It has been most frustrating

The fix is to go to Google App folder, find Google Meet and then long press (like 1 sec) then select DISABLE.
