[Issue] Samsung Galaxy S22 users aren’t receiving text messages on Verizon, T-Mobile
Some Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus, and Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone users are reported having issues in receiving text messages. Mainly, the issue is reported by the Galaxy S22 series consumers having a carrier branded unit on Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T.
The text messages issue emerged on Samsung Galaxy S22 models post-September 2022 security patch installation on various networks. Meanwhile, several users reported that a simple reboot fixes the text messages issue, while the pending ones come as a crowd after restarting the phone, spotted by PiunikaWeb.

More specifically, the issue doesn’t occur regularly, while the users stop receiving text messages randomly. Once restarted, all the pending messages arrive in bulk, hinting that there’s any functional error with the September 2022 security patch.

Apart from the Galaxy S22 series, some Galaxy S21 owners were also victims of such issues with text messages a few months back. Some consumers managed to clear the app cache and data to get rid of the problem but it didn’t solve until the device got restarted.
Talking about temporary fixes for the issue, consumers having Galaxy S22 locked on AT&T or T-Mobile can toggle SIM cards on/off through the SIM card manager function. Earlier, some carrier-locked Galaxy devices got two bloatware apps alongside the security patch.
Samsung debuted its September 2022 security patch earlier this month, and the Galaxy A52 also received the October patch with One UI 5.0 Beta. So far, the US network carriers have not acknowledged the issue with text messages, however, we are dreaming a fix OTA as soon as possible.
A recent update to WhatsApp for Android users has brought an issue that is preventing users from sending videos. Spotted after updating to version v2.24.9.34, the issue shows in an error message – “Can’t send this video. Choose a different video and try again.”
This issue seems to be specific to videos that are recorded or saved directly on Android devices. Whereas, videos captured by iPhones, especially in MOV format, are not being affected and can be shared without any issues. This bug is also affecting some videos downloaded from Instagram to the device’s storage.
The video-sending issue on WhatsApp is not affecting every Android user, but it has been verified on some devices, notably the Galaxy S series. Several users reported their concerns on social media platforms like Reddit, Twitter, and more to highlight the inconvenience caused by this unexpected bug.
For those who want an immediate fix to this issue, upgrading to older WhatsApp version 2.24.8.85 is a temporary solution. As of now, WhatsApp has not issued an official statement about the issue. It’s recommended to wait for a permanent solution before proceeding with any app upgrades.
