I feel like Charlie Brown collecting rocks at Halloween. My Messages app got updated to 3.3.044, but I still don't have a "Messages for web" option.

I'M ALSO ON 3.3.044 which is newer that=n 3.3.043 I would suppose and still dont have that option.:-

What phone do you have? Which android version?

EDIT: Sorry , I didn't realize this was in the Pixel 2/XL section. I googled and this thread came up

I am running Android P on 2XL

I downloaded the version for Arm64 with the highest DPI (560-640) setting and for Android 5.0+ from APK Mirror

Restart your phone, or at least completely flush the app. 3.3.044 doors have the button, but if you update and don't flush the old version you'll not see it.

You have to flush the old version out of memory before you see the entry. Only updating is not enough.

How do you do that?

The app update with Web Messages support is rolling out slowly. My wife's Z2 Play just received the app update. But nothing for my Z Force yet. It takes time to hit all phones, I guess.

Please share apk

That does not work. The update is rolling out in waves. I just have to wait

But some are getting the update but not the web option.

I have a pixel 2 and can't delete the app. How do I "flush"?

Still waiting.

I have the latest version and still no option for web messaging. Sigh.

I had three phones receive the app update last night, all the same app version. 2 out of 3 do not have the new option. My work phone does (Turbo 2) but not my Z Force & Z Play personal.phones. I have uninstalled updates to Messages, cleared app data, disabled, rebooted > then re-enable, reinstall the new app version twice last night. And still no Web Messages option. I did notice that when I switched to Verizon Message + this morning that hundreds of old texts that didn't appear in Messages showed up in the Message+ app. So, I deleted everything, every single text thread. Rebooted the phone, and repeated above (Messages > clear data, uninstall updates, disable, reboot, enable, install app again) and still no Web Messages option.

I wonder if a data glitch causes the new option to not appear? Or does Google need to turn something "On" on their end with your GMail account? My work phone that does have the option is on a different GMail account than my two personal phones that do not have the new option.

There has to be a reason why so many people have the new app update and do not have the new Web Messages option in the app.

Google should let us sign up for early access

It's a server side switch, so Google pushes the flag update out to individual device IDs.

That makes sense, but are you sure? It is very plausible.

 

[Scott337]

And just FYI....we are not alone. There are already discussions on the Google Help - Product Forum pages for the same issue....have the new app but don't have the new Web option.

Google needs to learn to keep their collective traps shut about these sorts of things until they’re ready to go all in with any updates.
