When using my Fairphone 6 Plus for the first time, the Google Messages app was extremely slow. I’m talking 60 seconds to take a photo, send, and get confirmation it was received. The whole app was slow, I tried many things to fix it. This is what actually fixed it.
- Play Store>Google Messages>Uninstall Updates 2) Restart 3) Play Store>Google Messages>Update. No messages were lost in doing this and performance is back to normal!
Hopefully this helps someone else with the same issue.
