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?

You need to check for a update for the Google Meet app if one is showing update it but it one isn't available you need to disable Meet and messages will start working again

You need to check for a Update for the Meet app if no update is available you need to Disable Google Meets and messages will start working again

After opening a message on my messages app the screen has suddenly started to default to my phones home screen either before I start to type a reply or in the middle of typing. I have cleared cache and data as advised and re booted several times with no luck. I can still receive texts but can't reply before the screen defaults to the home screen. It's on a Samsung S20+ and all updates have been installed.

Any help appreciated.

Try disabling Google Meets in settings, supposedly it will allow messages to start working again
