Texts from some people never arrive, or verification codes don't come

Steps to try when you're missing texts from certain people or codes from your bank.

Steps

  1. Turn off RCS and restart. Google Messages → ⋮ → Settings → RCS chats / Chat features → off, then restart your phone. This fixes it for most people.

  2. Waiting for a verification code? Check the spam / blocked folder in Google Messages.

  3. Check Messages permissions: Settings → Apps & notifications → Messages → Permissions, and make sure everything is allowed.

  4. Try the steps in My phone has no service. You can also ask your carrier for a new SIM.

If it still happens

Send us two or three examples:

  • The phone number that texted you

  • The date and approximate time of each message

  • Your ZIP code

This helps us look into it, especially if you use our own cellular plans.
