I was actually using samsung messages. I had tech support dial in and changed to Google messages on my phone and tablet. Yay!:unicorn_face::sun_with_face:🤭

You might need to take your texting problem to your carrier. They are responsible for your messaging working properly.

Which texting app do you want to connect with your phone?

Google Messages or Samsung Messages?

Google Messages, you do from your phone, tap on your profile picture, go to device pairing, open the QR code scanner, open the camera from your tablet, and scan the code.

Samsung Messages, open settings, go to connected devices on both your phone and tablet, call and text on other devices, toggle on your phone, text, or call whichever ones you want to turn on.

I'm trying to mirror my phone settings to my new Samsung 9 tablet. I think it's in the settings 🤔 on the tablet. I am going to check my settings now on tablet. I'll let you know if it works 😊1724088077614.jpg
