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?

Just disable Google Meet (only) as the temporary fix.

Works for me

I use my Google meets a lot. Why would you need to delete it? It's a different app.

Try disabling google meet.

Thx, this worked for me. Only disabled Google meet, not Android auto or AI core as also suggested above, and problem solved.

Same here.  I only disabled Google Meet.  I had no idea that app even existed

I use Google Meet as well so this is not a good solution for everyone.
