Google Messages missing "Messages For Web" - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and M

I just updated my S7 Edge to G935UUEU4BRD1 a few days ago and am very happy since the update. I also want to update Google Messages to use with my desktop. The update for Google Messages ("Messages For Web") is not showing up on my S7 Edge at the present time! Is anyone else experiencing this situation? Thanks in advance. rbendorf

I just got the update today and can now use Messages on my desktop...just took a bit longer. Peace. rich

Korean (S) foibles

Received this one this week and have rooted, flashed new rom (which was identical to stock anyway) but there are a few minor annoyances I was wondering if anyone else has any clues to remedy.
First off is the weather DB for TW weather. It is from Korea so has very limited information for other countries. Seems to be no way to add to the DB in UI.
Then there is the SMS app. Each time a new text is received it just says 'New Message' you have received a new message. No details about sender or a preview of the message at all.

Don't know the answer to your first question but the second one, probably yes.
If you mean message details showing up on edge screen? Try this:
Go to Settings > Application Settings > Message > Notification > Edge Screen. Here tick that option. Now if you get texts it will show preview of messages.
Thats great thanks, now get message preview and a popup. Strange that is disabled by default.
Ok noticed some other problems now.
One is S Planner, it likes to crash when I am trying to alter any time. Also is there any calender app that lets you duplicates events likethe web one? Pretty annoying missing functionality.
Another weird thing is the edge notification bar. It nearly always says no nitrifications even when an SMS or e-mail is in notification bar!
Weird that Korean has no S Health app as well, or voice recorder,
S health and voice recorder needs to be downloaded from the Samsung app store.
My notifications works fine and also the s planner.
Thanks for that tip. I had searched the galaxy store with no luck but it seems you have to drill down to the essentials list to find it. I downloaded S Health and it crashes before launching. There must be some disabled service (Greenify?) or configuration that is causing issues with some Samsung apps.

I have not had any such issues with S Health or S Planner apps.
A few days ago I noticed that the notifications weren't showing up but resetting the phone it returned to normal.

Text message send lag?????

Hey I was curious if anyone is having the same issue I am on my rooted note 5. So pretty much been sending sms really late to people. I'm using Google message because I hate Samsung messgaing client. Is the normal?
Did you transfer all your messages, I had to delete all my messages for it to send faster. See if this helps if you have a lot of messages
are you stock? running a theme? and to delete google messages is not the same as your data base to stock messaging

[Completed] Samsung Messages Bug? Can't switch to Google Messenger!

Hello all,
I'm having this really weird issue where after I recently wiped and freshly updated my Galaxy S7 Edge to Nougat, I started using Samsung's default messages app to see if I'd like it. Well long story short I decided to switch back to Google Messenger like I always do on every device I've owned, but when I install the app, and set it up. NONE of my SENT messages are imported to the app. Only the RECEIVED messages from my contacts. Every message I've sent to any and all of my contacts AND *some* messages received are just completely missing. I have no way of exporting the messages via the Samsung app to then import into google messenger, and I've tried using third-party apps and Samsung smart switch to backup the messages and then restore them, but they all only see and backup the received messages, and not the ones I sent.
This problem is only for the messages I've sent and received since the day I updated my phone and started using Samsung messages. Any conversations older than that, transfer successfully to google messenger.
I don't think Nougat or the update is the issue, but rather with something in samsung messages. I could really use some help! Thanks!

After the update I get notifications that I have a new fb messenger message but it doesn't show me the message or give me the option to reply. I'm looking it here, please tell me I'm just missing something! Thanks guys.

From my experience, you can go to the notification and then tap the 3 dot menu and in there will be the reply button. It is pretty stupid but when you do that it does work. Also if you have messenger lite (which you probably aren't) then you cannot reply at all.

Did Whatsapp clear old chats on last update?

Hello everyone,
I'll start by saying that I haven't lost my whatsapp chats since I began using it in 2010.
Until last update I had all my chats from 2010 in my "Chats" tab in the app.
Today, I realized that my list is a hell lot shorter than it used to be and that all the chats that ended before July 2015 are gone (I would say probably 150 chats).
If I use the search option and search for an old chat contact's name I find him under "Other contacts" and not under "Chats", BUT if I enter the chat I CAN see all the history with him. This seems pretty weird.
I've looked at the database file and it has the same size as it used to have and considering that I can see the history of the chats if I search manually means they haven't been deleted, just cleared from the Chats tab.
Maybe Whatsapp are trying to speed up loading time for the main activity?
Am I the only one who has this issue?
Is it an issue of the current version only?
I'm a freak for nostalgic things and it scares me a lil' but to lose my chats.
I have an international Exynos galaxy s8 plus model.
Whatsapp version 2.17.323
Thanks in advance and have a great day!
No one?
Hello!
It seems like I've finally found someone with the same problem as me and I'm not an isolated case.
Firstly, I'm sorry if you do not understand something I say, English is not my native language.
So, I noticed this a couple of days ago, I had over a hundred conversations and I have the habit of archive them through the "Archive all chats" option. The last time I used this option, I noticed that it listed only 64 conversations. I'm pretty sure I did not delete any conversation, and as you said, the size of my database also remains the same as before.
Curiously, I can only find the old conversations if I search for the contact's name or part of the conversation, but in the archived list these do not appear.
I also noticed that if I enter through the WhatsApp Web, these conversations do not appear as in the phone, they appear empty.
I was thinking about contacting WhatsApp support, because I'm afraid that if I reinstall I'll lose the conversations.
Hello, glad to know I'm not alone. Someone in another forum had the same issue and just installed an old apk from august.
I'm not sure if they did that intentionally or by mistake, so I tried to contact whatsapp support team. they keep giving me generic answers on how to add contacts to whatsapp and how to backup data to drive lol.. They don't even read it.
Waiting for an app update. If this doesn't solve this I'll go back to an old version myself.
Same thing happens with the Whatsapp Web like you by the way.
