Pixel 6 Not Receiving Texts - Need Help!

General Discussion

Yes! You can usually find the specific settings on your carrier’s website. Sometimes, a simple reset can solve network issues too. Just stay optimistic!

22

I’m curious, how many of you have experienced this problem with other devices? It could be a broader software issue.

23

Honestly, I’ve seen friends complain about text issues on other Android devices too. Maybe it’s a universal problem with the OS? Just saying…

24

That might be the case! But it’s frustrating when simple messages get lost in the void.

For a laugh, I once sent a text that didn’t go through… it ended up being 30 minutes of silence before I realized. Fun times. But seriously, I hope you all find a fix soon!

I feel you, bradley12. It’s like playing hide and seek with texts. Sometimes they come through, sometimes they don’t. Just keep experimenting with settings!

27

Great advice! It’s all about trial and error with these devices. Don’t lose hope!

After reflecting on this discussion, I feel like we should all get magnetic name tags for our phones. ‘Hello? Can you hear me?’ would be the motto. But on a serious note, let’s keep sharing tips!

I’m having the same issue with my Pixel 6! It started after the last update. Has anyone else noticed this?

I’ve read that some recent software updates might have bugs affecting text messaging. Have you tried rolling back the update?

I think it’s a widespread problem. My texts take forever to send, especially after that big update last month.

For now, you can try clearing the cache for your messaging app. It helped me a little.

33

Same here! I wonder if Google is aware of this and if they plan to release a fix soon.

34

Good tip! I’ll give that a try. Hopefully, it’s just a cache issue.

35

I’m curious, has anyone tried alternative messaging apps like Textra or Signal? Do they work better?

I switched to Textra and found it much faster for sending messages! Plus, it’s customizable.

37

I don’t think it’s solely a software issue. Sometimes it’s the carrier too that can cause delays.

38

That’s true! I should check with my provider to see if they’re having issues.

Oh no! What if your texts are trapped in the Pixel Bermuda Triangle? :joy:

I think the software updates are responsible for many bugs lately. We need more transparency from Google on these updates.
