Samsung Messages

[NickDunne]

Ever since I purchased a Galaxy S24 Ulta I have been unable to text various Contacts. The wheel just spins followed by an error message. I have had to switch to Google Messages which works perfectly, but the presentation is not as good.

I thought about deleting the App and reinstalling but Samsungs own Messages app cannot be deleted.

Any thoughts?

Are the contacts your having issues with able to send you a text @NickDunne 

You can clear the cache of the app by long holding on messages and tap on the i  then Storage and Clear Cache. 

Please also ensure you haven't inadvertently blocked those particular contacts too.

Also check where your contacts are saved, for example on Samsung or Google

[NickDunne]

I have cleared both cache numerous times to no avail.
No I haven't blocked the contacts

[NickDunne]

Not sure where I can check this?

Ok @NickDunne 

So just to clarify you can send texts to some contacts just not some specific one's  ?

And the contacts your having issues with can text you ?

Have you also tried the 2nd version of Samsung Messages i.e the white one with a blue messaging icon inside it.

If you use the Samsung Contacts app they should be in there @NickDunne

I need to check out whether it is everyone who I can't text and me receive. At moment I can't text my wife or son.
Your second version is actually Google Messages which works 100%
