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?

My text message app keeps crashing about 5 seconds after I open a text message to read or reply. I can see the message then it crashes and closes. This has been happening for 2 days now.

I'm having the same issues with my text messages. I open and 5 seconds later it's crashes. Then I get a pop up that says. Close app, report issue, contact us.

You have to disable the Google meet app until problem fixed. I just did it & my text message is working again

Goto app store, search Google meet, then uninstall or disable it.
