why are incoming texts only 2 lines long?

[AC Question]

LG G5and every android ive had
my text messages coming in get split up into really small sections... normally a 2 line max per section. so like a 200 word text is being split into 6-7 mini texts and come out of order. I under stand the limit is 146-150 words per text but i never even get close to that when receiving messages, maybe one sentence is sent thru per message.

That's weird. I've owned a lot of Android devices (Samsung mostly) but they don't behave like that. I have friends with Lenovo, LGs, Sony, and theirs don't do that either. What SMS app are you using?

i am running the default app that comes on the phone.

seems to do fine at times when a person sends a message close to the limit but if a person sends over a decent paragraph that's maybe 300 characters or more it comes in at 2 line pieces

Does this happen for all the long messages you get from all senders, or just messages from one sender?

The splitting of a text message into multiple segments is normally done on the sender's phone.
