Not getting some SMSs

[Terpsucka]

The past few days I've been occasionally not getting a text that someone has sent to me. Like, I'll have an ongoing conversation, and suddenly just one message never makes it to me. Last night a friend tried to resend the same text a bunch of times, and I just never got it. When she copy and pasted the text into a new message it did come through. This is happened with messages from multiple people. Any ideas on how to debug this?

Which device and message app your using?
Does that person use a iPhone?

Thanks for the response, the link for signing up! My device is a Moto G Stylus running android 11. I'm using the canned "Messages" app. The people I've had this problem with are all iPhone users. Might changing apps help?

Welcome to Android Central! Just to be sure, you posted the original question? (I'm a bit confused, because I don't see any responses from anyone else before this one.)

EDIT: Never mind, I found the duplicate thread and merged them, and made you the owner of the original guest post.

Welcome to AC!
The Moto devices use Google messages or Moto default message app?

Welcome to Android Central! Have you tried resetting your network connections? Have you tried using an alternate SMS app, like Textra, to see if you got different results?

Whoops I didn't realize there was another option! It's Google messages.

Thanks! I had cleared the cache but I hadn't killed the app, gave that a go, will report back when I find out if that helped

Yes, I do still appear to be missing messages. Do you have any other suggestions?

 

[mustang7757]

Is it just one person?

 

[Morty2264]

Have you tried using another SMS app to see if it was a glitch with your current one?

 

[Terpsucka]

No, it's at least 3 different people, all iphone users. I will try another sms app, see what that does for me. Thanks for the suggestion!

No problem! See if an app like Textra gives you the same difficulties. Keep us posted!
