    Google messenger for Android, on Pixel 2, all of a sudden incoming pictures will not open. How do I correct this?
    Yesterday there was a message on messenger that Google had done an update. Since then, I cannot see incoming pictures. They try to download, but never complete.

    Welcome to Android Central! Is your mobile data turned on, and if so, how's the reception? MMS messages require mobile data, not voice signal or wi-fi.

    Yes, mobile data is turned on and I have a good signal. Everything was okay until yesterday when Google did an update to messenger.

    In the Messages app's Advanced Settings, is the Auto-Download MMS toggle turned on?

    Make sure that WiFi is off when trying to retrieve MMS. Some Samsungs have had a problem with that - I don't see a P2 having a problem with it, but try it.

    I tried a different messenger and it has the same issue. I can, however, get pictures on my phone with facebook messenger.

    I think should try rebooting the device see if any glitches get fixed before going deeper into checking other things

    I rebooted several times yesterday, and just now again and no progress. Still not seeing incoming pics.

    After a lot of troubleshooting with Verizon, they are replacing my phone and sim card.

    Hmm, strange issue, but glad that they're giving you a replacement! Did you happen to see if the problem occurred in Safe Mode as well?
