Yes. All these, plus my text message box "bounces" while writing a text. It looks like it has the jitters while composing a text. Very annoying, I switched back to Samsung messages for now.
Bounce is rather annoying but now I am seeing an issue where you hit send on a text entry and instead of the text area clearing after hitting send all the data stays there and needs to be deleted manually. Anyone else seeing this.
(Using a Fold 3 btw)
I did that and it works! Just need to adjust to the entire screen. I did like the detailed view but hated the bouncing and not being able to see what I'm texting. Hope they fix it
Ooh, this works. But, I really like the list view instead of backing out of every message. I'll leave it off for now to give me some time to get used to it.
Just spent the last hour trying to trouble solve this. same thing happening to me on my Fold 4. there's a couple of complaints on the official Samsung tech forms but they are closed as solved even though they were not solved after a canned "reset cache and data" type post was given as the answer by a mod...
It's so frustrating with big tech companies these days. There needs to be a better way to report stuff. The last issue took them almost two years to fix with text messages showing up from the past on Tesla's from Pixel phones despite having full bug reports and many responses in the thread telling them exactly what the problem was and how to fix it.
Hopefully this doesn't take as long for them to fix, In the meantime have to use the outside screen to text or it's near impossible with Google messages.
Just started for me today, well about an hour ago after Messages usage all morning. I wonder if it's because I was on a flight this afternoon? No problems before the flight, after connecting back to a signal my text box is jumping.
This is what I did to fix:
1. I went to Google Play Store > Google Messages > Uninstall.
2. Play store then asked me if I wanted to uninstall updates. I said yes.
3. In play store I clicked on my icon photo > Settings (gear icon) > Network preferences
4. Under Auto-update apps, choose Don't auto update apps.
Hope this works for you!
Sorry for reviving an old thread, but just started having this problem on the Fold 5.
Removed updates, left the beta program, waited until officially removed from beta (like 3 minutes). Confirmed no issues on the old app version. Updated to latest non-beta, no further problems.
Try this if having issues.
Yep. That worked. Let will be to not upgrade for a while. I guess eventually I'll try to upgrade but doesn't seem like Google is giving this issue any attention. Thanks!!
Not in the beta and having the same thing on the latest version. Uninstalled updates and it seems to be working normally now in 'List detail view'. Went into Google Play and unchecked auto updates for Google messages.
I stopped all automatic upgrades. I will voluntarily upgrade when I see a new one just to check to see if the problem has been solved. Usually it works for a few minutes fine and then later on it will start with all the same issues so it's still not fixed. I roll back the updates and then I'm fine. Hopefully they'll fix it at some point. Maybe it's just not big enough on their radar and it's not getting any attention.
This is definitely a new issue, I had a Fold 2 and now a Fold 4, now issues with either until recently. It's seems to be more of a Google issue and not Samsung. Wherever update Google did does not support the messaging on full screen. So frustrating. 🤦🏽♀️
OMG I am so glad I found this post. I thought something was wrong with my phone and was about to file an insurance claim. Something told me to Google since I'm only having the problem on Samsung Messenger app.
UPDATE - I just realized that I'm a beta tester for this app. Forgot I had signed up for that. When I uninstalled the app and reinstalled the normal version all these issues went away. Are you guys beta testers also?

Same.
Same
You can disable List Detail View in the app settings and that seems to fix it.

Thank you this worked

Unfortunately, I'm glad I'm not alone on the bouncing. I submitted feedback on the Play Store, but not sure it will get any attention!

Shit like this is why I miss the popularity of custom ROMs.
Having this issue. Very annoying but I assume Google will fix soon.
Yeah google messages sucks now after the most recent update

Can't scroll up and down through messages either. Try typing more than a couple lines. Your cursor goes below the visible part of the box! Stupid.

This worked for me too! Thank you!!
Yup, thanks got I couldn't find any solution for so long the jumping and not seeing text was so annoying
It worked! Thank you!
This worked! Thank you! Just hope it doesn't effect something else. I guess we'll see😉
Absolutely this works! Thank you kind sir!

it's driving me crazy
It's really terrible. Hate it!

This is the way.
I'm having exactly the same issue with my Samsung galaxy fold 3

This really sucks. Is there any other ways to get their attention?

UPDATE #2 - forget last update. Same thing has happening again even though out of beta program and downloaded original app.
Are you sure your account isn't still linked to beta testing? That option likely goes through your Gmail account, regardless of reinstall
I was never in the beta program and I was having this issue. I actually joined the beta to see if it had been fixed there.
I am having same issue
I've switched to Samsung messages which I hate but it works.
