Google Apps Problem

Messages not working Properly

My phone messages won't go through. This used to happen every now and then. But since the update it's happening constantly. Just says message failed. #annoyed #S8

Im so upset for updating to #oneui this screwed up my note 8 so bad. Did this update got tested before release? The whole #samsung oneui team should be ashamed of this crap. This is even worse than TouchWiz and all other failed Samsung software
