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?

As recommended by someone else:

Go to Google Play Store -> Account -> Manage apps and device -> Manage, on the installed filter Find “Android Auto”, “Android AI Core” and potentially “Google Meet”select both then press trash icon, it will ask if you want to uninstall updates for the apps and click uninstall, now go to the messages app. Your issue is now resolved! Please share!
