text messages not working

Cannot read or send text messages today. Messenger keeps crashing and cutting out. Tried rebooting, updates, resetting nothing works. Can you help please.

@MarkD1

You say text and messenger or just one of them?

Go into app manager and clear cache and data.

Hi MI5. Cleared cache and data.

All texts in messages.

@MarkD1

Can you uninstall updates and allow the app to update again.

Not sure how to remove any new updates?

For the SMS app, that uninstall updates trick is described here, @MarkD1

@MarkD1

It should say uninstall updates instead of having a delete option, as it's a system app and cannot be deleted.

Thank you all. Found that google update was corrupted, removed it. Everything back to normal.

Well done @MarkD1

Not uncommon for updates to cause issues.
