WOOHOO!!!! Finally!!!!

Some 8 months and 23 days after it was first released, Android Nougat has just been downloaded to my O2 32GB Galaxy S6 and is currently being installed as I type. 

If you have an S6, check your software update in Settings. It wasn't pushed to my device, I manually checked it just now and the update started downloading. I last checked it yesterday and the update wasn't available then, so it must have appeared today.

It's a 1.3gb file, but hopefully it's worth the very long wait.

The only way to "fix" the message app is to use a different one.
Hundreds of message apps to choose from on Play store.

Thanks, I'm a little nervous about using third party apps from the store. for this type of thing as in the past there have been apps with a trojans injected.

If you feel that is a real concern you could use well known messaging apps such as facebook messenger, whatsapp, BBM, Tugo or Google hangouts etc but the risk of infected apps off Google Play is extremely low if not zero. Just select one with good ratings from many feedbacks.
