This Google Messages bug is making messages vanish, and it seems to be spreading

A bug in Google Messages is causing texts to disappear from Android threads, affecting both new and older messages.

What began as Samsung-only complaints now includes reports from Pixel and Motorola users as well.

Common fixes like clearing cache, updating the app, or restarting the phone have not solved the issue.

The bug is disrupting basic texting on Android and raising concerns about relying on Google Messages for RCS messaging.
