  • The app/RCS feature crashes multiple times a day. Had a situation where I had to send instructions on how to fix something to someone and every second message failed to send. Switching to SMS 30 minutes after doesn't help when the information needs to be sent and received in a specific order. I have had 37 failed messages in the last 12 hours. Both my phone and the person I'm messaging have the most up to date apps. Super frustrating

  • And now I don't even get audible notifications! Just awful. To many unnecessary, complicated options. Chat, Bubbles, Personal, Business and on and on. this messaging app is the worst. Often I don't get a notification of ANY kind and notice I got a message 2 days later. If someone new sends me a message, no notification. I was blaming the phone. It's this app. It seems to default for all messages to "silent" and "this is not a conversation" you don't know someone sent you a message. Done with it

  • While some features are great (like the ability to login via desktop computer & the spam filter) there are some bad bugs in this program where people text me & it never comes through. For example: I paid for my sister's honeymoon, & as a way of thanking me she texted me updates of her adventures throughout the two week trip. I never received one text, photo, or video from that thread. Likewise I had a critical job interview and it required me use a text verification code: which I never received.

  • My texts are not sending. This has been consistent for the last couple of weeks..... Update Dec 2023 - my texts are sending, but now I'm not receiving texts. I'm opening the app and just seeing failure messages for all inbound texts from iPhone users. It seems that's the issue. Looks like the Samsung messenger app doesn't have this issue. Using that until this app gets fixed. I'd rather get my texts vs having the bells and whistles this one offers

  • Can't send images in group message. The solution given in one support ticket from 2019 is no longer applicable since some developer genius decided to move/hide the settings needed to change. Why is the error message when trying to send is not clickable? "As a user I want an error message telling me how to fix it, but no link to actually just fix it like all other apps in the world but rather having to google outdated instructions and figure it out myself".... kudos dev team!

  • The reliability of the app is garbage. Messages constantly won't go through, new messages come in from archived conversations and don't pop back into your main inbox so you have to go searching for them. Just all around unimpressive for a technology and company that should be easy and refined by now. After posting my review some Google rep sent me a generic "help" link that didn't even address the issue. Customer support comes down to "turn it off and restart it". Still garbage and poor support
