Galaxy S21 October 2022 update:
According to the official changelog, Samsung fixes an intermittent issue where the device didn’t receive text messages. Previously, various Verizon-locked Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 customers reported this problem, which is occurring after installing the September 2022 patch update.
This problem was randomly preventing Galaxy S21 devices to receive text messages. However, after restarting the phone, all the pending messages arrive in bulk. Fortunately, the issue is resolved and now users won’t have to restart their phones again and again to receive text messages.
