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?

@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.
