Similarly, you can also download any other SMS app from the Play Store. The Android Messages app is available for download on any Android device. However, that changed with the launch of Android Messages app.Ĭurrently, Google phones and other devices running stock Android come pre-installed with the Android Messages app, while other OEMs (such as Samsung, MI etc.) use their own SMS apps. For a long time, Android didn’t have a dedicated SMS app.

Once it launches a chat app, it discontinues the app after some time. It is currently 3:30pm and I am currently experiencing SMS delays again.Google has a strange history with messaging apps. STAMINA MODE- I usually have stamina mode activated but I turned it off this morning around 10am after reading this post. Since this app cannot be deleted I have it disabled. MESSAGE APPS- I only use one message app (Textra) but I tried the default app that is pre-installed on the phone but that one is worse. When I switched from iPhone to the Z4 I deactivated all of my iPhone accounts including iMessenger and I did not experience and issues with SMS or MMS on the Z4, just my current Z5. If I receive group messages from iPhone users it always triggers sms delays. I notice sms and mms delays the most with iPhone users, however, most of my friends are iPhone users so that could also be a factor that makes it seem more frequent. IPHONE- I did have an iPhone previously before I switched to Android (I had the Sony Xperia Z4 and I got the Z5 after it was released). The signal reads - 98 dBM 43 asu currently. Currently I have 2/4 bars of LTE coverage on AT&T. SIGNAL- I usually have good signal strength at home and at work. SIM- I have my old Sony Xperia Z4 as well as my old iPhone I could try the SIM with. To answer the various questions and suggestions: Thank you very much for the suggestions everyone, unfortunately I was very busy with he holidays and did not have time to reply before.
