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?

Same here. Super frustrating. I can send a text if I paste a message from a text editor and hit send super fast before it crashes.

Did you disable Google Meet?  Worked for most

UPDATE @ 319A PDT:

The temp fix is to DISABLE Google Meet and then refresh the Message app.

My texting and receiving capabilities returned to working status with this TEMPORARY fix.

Fix this Samsung, now!
