Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted 5 hours ago #26 Share Posted 5 hours ago @rhobbkf... here's a *possible* solution to your issue. Have you actually told your device to change the *default* text app to Google? If you don't do this the device can easily get confused about how to deal with the app you are using...assuming it is NOT the default. Just something to check...

I was hoping somebody knew why Google messenger doesn't send immediately on wifi when my current messenger by VZ does. I get varying messages on the Google app. It tells me to turn off airplane mode. Or the message just sits with a small clock by it and then times out and asks if I want to resend. Next month I won't have the luxury of switching back to VZ messenger to get my messages to send and receive. You can invite your contacts (the ones you want to keep in touch with) to WhatsApp by tapping the green box with the plus in it - it should show your phone contacts. The ones not using WhatsApp have "Invite" next to their name, and it will send them the link. Is Google Messenger different from Google Messages? I use Messages to text on my Samsung phone and did not have difficulty texting at sea -- but I use Google Fi as our carrier, so maybe that's the difference? Good luck with this. Facebook Messenger would also work if you use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaws2 Posted 40 minutes ago #28 Share Posted 40 minutes ago We were on a 21 day Mediterranean in August and also used WhatsApp, I contacted the contacts I was going to message to and they also downloaded WhatsApp and had no issues, was able to send pictures etc, worked really well and once we got back into the U.S I just switched back to my normal messenger and we also have Verizon.

Yes, it forces me to select it as the default app before I can proceed. But I appreciate any suggestions to try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
