Google Voice Messages forwarding to Text Message App

[UtahJeff]

I just got my S7 over the weekend and I'm loving it. Except... All incoming Google Voice text messages are showing up in my text messaging app. How can I stop this? I've looked through the settings of both apps and I must me missing something.

Thanks in advance.

From my Note 4 (you might have to modify this a bit): Open VM app. Click 3 dots, top right corner. Click Preferences. Scroll down to Display SMS delivery of voice message. Click and select "Never Allow." Also, IMHO you might turn off "Display ads" in the same place. Respond to let me know this worked or not.

Thank you. That did not work. SMS sent to my Google voice number are still being forwarded to my default text app on the S7. Does anyone else have any ideas?

Check settings, sync and notifications, and select receive text messages. If that doesn't work, maybe check the settings from the Google Voice website

I got my S7 last night and all the incoming text messages are not only showing up in Messenger but also showing up in my Google voice mail. I don't understand why I would need that.

I just uninstalled Google VM and Messenger and reinstalled, that seems to have broken whatever link was between the two apps. All I have to do now is a mass delete of text messages in my Google voice mail.

I switched to Sprint when I got this phone. I uninstalled Google Voice and reinstalled it. This time paying better attention to the prompts. They default to setting the option to forward texts to the messaging app. When I selected "skip" it corrected the issue. Thanks everyone for the input!
