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?

Ok, I've found the solution for the problem. I got the idea :light_bulb: from another "Samsung Text Messaging problem chat." The fix is disabled "Google Meet." I did it, and now I can text again..

The fix is to go to Google App folder, find Google Meet and then long press (like 1 sec) then select DISABLE.

Yeah I did that and it worked, but those of us who use Google Meet can't keep it disabled.

Just saw this thread. I am on version 15.1.20.27, is that what you were on? Messages loads, then seconds later crashes.
Google Messages is that hangouts?

And no that's not the version I have. Mine says 15.1.11.1. But I switched back to Google messages.
