Text messages/Message app keeps crashing

[Lynne16]

Hi, I'm having an issue with my text messages, it won't let me reply to anyone, I've tried numerous times to send a text and it keeps throwing me out, I've switched the phone off and back on, but nothing has changed, I need the texts for work, I'm using WhatsApp to reply ro people, and not a lot of people use WhatsApp alot, any ideas on how to fix it?, thanks.

I am having the same issue it keeps kicking me out and saying it keeps stopping.

There are now 2 messaging services on your phone Samsung messages and Google messages - they both receive them
You have to select the other as primary if the one you open doesn't allow you to send

How do I do that, I'm not very technically minded.

[Jksol]

Whatever messaging app is on your main screen is the wrong one if you can't send messages simply swipe your screen up revealing all your apps and look for both the Google and Samsung messaging app and send the opposite one to your desktop and delete the other (the app symbols are very similar)

Thank you 😊

You're welcome

Disabling "Meet" in Apps fixed the problem for me.
