Hi, all. Longtime Galaxy/Verizon customer (S3, Note 4, Note 9, now S24+). After my switch to the S24+ last month, and the switch from Samsung Messages to Google Messages, I am now getting "Unable to download message from (sender)." My message screen shown a downfacing arrow which, if tapped, shows an animated circle around an X. Said "message" never downloads. This might occur just a few minutes after I have had successful text messages with that same user.

My Mobile Data is switched to On
I have full bars of data and strong wifi
Access Point Names is sent to VZWINTERNET (same as on my Note 9 - just checked.)

Any ideas what is causing this, and how I can fix it?

Most likely it's a bug Google has, probably need to report it to them.

Also on Play Store join Google Message Beta, see if this was fixed in the Beta Version.
