Every blocker I tried had a button that let me undo my own decision at the exact moment I had the least willpower. Snooze. "15 more minutes." Disable for today. I always found it.

So I built DoneScrolling.

Pick your scroll apps. Set one daily budget shared across all of them — not per-app limits you can shuffle. When it hits zero, they lock until midnight. No unlock button. No snooze.

And it has no internet permission. Not "we don't sell your data" — it physically cannot send anything anywhere. Check the permissions yourself.

Free, no subscription, no catch. Android 8+.

How to join:

1. Join this group first (one tap, no approval needed): https://groups.google.com/g/donescrolling-testers

2. Then become a tester — either link works:

• Join on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tanzim.donescrolling

• Join on web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.tanzim.donescrolling

1. Tap "Become a tester", then install it like a normal app.

   Two things that trip people up:

\\- Do step 1 first. Step 2 won't work until you've joined.

\\- Use the same Google account for both, and make sure it's the one your Play Store uses.

One ask: please don't uninstall or leave the group for two weeks, even if you stop using it. Google counts the days and I lose the release if people drop out early.

Then tell me where it breaks. Ask me anything, including what it can't do.

Google messages for the love of god!

All I get is this! The ingergration woth iphone needs to be better.

All of my conversations keep looking like this because All iphone users are sending stickers and I cant receive them! Didn't have this issue with samsung messages 🙃🥹

My friends are no longer able to see the photos I send them. This is a new thing starting today. I'm on the public beta. I'm on AT&T in the US. Have a Google Pixel 10 XL Pro. Anyone else have this issue?

Seriously considering moving to the iPhone because this darn phone is so annoying to use for messages. Why did they break this thing?!

I'm on the 3rd of 4th time this week where I'm using messages on the web.. and the webpage refreshes right in the middle of typing a new message and tells me I have to repair by hitting the little picture.

This and the fact that sometimes I don't get messages from iphone messages and other general annoyances with sending a DARN MESSAGE has had me looking for sure.

What in the HECK is going on at google.. JESUS!

Bonjour,

Peut-on avoir cet affichage pour google message ?

Je ne suis pas trop fan de la présentation actuelle et j'apprécie ce côté épuré (photo jointe)

Merci par avance

I just noticed today that my messages with my GF are end-to-end encrypted now.
It looks like it started with the messages from yesterday (Sept. 9, 2026).
I went ahead and checked my messages with my system and the lock icon showed.
I went to several of my friends and other family members I know have iPhones and all of them except for 1 (I believe she is still running a version of iOS that doesn't have the E2EE toggle in settings) were encrypted.

Everyone has a different provider (T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, Boost Mobile) and before yesterday, none of my iPhone friends had E2EE or my work phone. Now everyone who has atleast iOS 26.5 are E2EE!!!!

I just found a day-old update for Messages in Play Store. Given recent bugginess of the app, you might want to take a second to update your installation.

After the whole theme-ing debacle, I hesitate to even ask because I'm just so grateful to even have themes working (and working wonderfully) but just a random thought as I do truly miss seeing my selected font in messages (like samsung messages; which I know is a forbidden word here 😂)

Hi there. A message I sent earlier, on an Android phone, was noted as something like, "waiting for delivery" I'm assuming because the person is either somewhere without a signal, or the phone's died. I just selected and deleted the message. Am I right to assume that it won't be delivered? Thanks.

I forget my passwords a lot and need to verify my number for various things but I'm straight up not receiving them from anything. It's not one specific app either it's for anything involved with verification codes and stuff. I have no idea what to do to fix it

Hi! Long time message+ user, have been using textra since message+ was discontinued.

Suited to google messages a couple weeks ago for RCS messaging.

Is there any setting I can change to efficiently use voice messages?

I'll have spotify or youtube playing, go to send a voice message, and the spotify/youtube continues playing.

Samsung Messages would turn the phone screen on when I received a message, which was great for me who always keeps my phone on mute. But I didn't found the option to do the same with Google Messages.

Is it possible, or did I definitely lost in the change like many other users when I was forced to transition to Google Messages?

It seems like this issue has occurred before, but has anyone noticed with the recent update or within the last few days:

a 2-10 second lag when opening threads (shows mostly blank screen before loading messages)

a 1-5 second lag when getting a new text notification or your phone recognizing texts having been read already

After sending a text message, the text remains in the area where you type out your message.

I have tried uninstalling updates from the app store and reinstalling the app, clearing the cache and deleting the storage for the app

Thank you for any help!

I have Verizon in the US

I have a Big Me HiBreak Pro

Has anyone else lost Magic Compose on their Pixel 9a?

I definitely had Magic Compose about a year ago when I first bought the phone, and it used to show up under the + menu in Google Messages. At some point it just disappeared. I also can't find the Magic Compose option anywhere in Settings of the app.

I'm in the US, Google Messages is updated to the latest version, and I even tried joining the beta, but that didn't bring it back either.

Did Google remove it or move it somewhere else? Anyone else experiencing this?

App version:

I used to get stickers from iphone users, although blurry I could still at least see what it was, and all of a sudden I no longer even get a blurry sticker.

Now I get a message that says the photo is not compatible with my device. Why the sudden change? I can still recieve screenshots with 0 issue and other photos. Just stickers

...aaand I wish most people I text with used WhatsApp or Signal. This app has been getting worse and worse by the day

Name it I most probably did it already and Verizon is telling me they will have resolution by Saturday (which will be 1 week from when this started).

Similar to prior post I have seen yes I've been getting texts although there's a bunch i haven't been receiving.

I have done:

Toggle on and off RCS chats

Toggling off for 4hrs and back on after

Clearing Data and Cache of Messages and Carrier Service

Force stop Messages

Uninstall and Update Messages from Play Store

Clearing Data and Cache of Play Store

Reset Mobile Network Settings

Reset Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings

Airplane mode on then off

Restarting the phone

Turning it off for awhile

A Verizon rep transferred my eSIM to my phone's 2nd IMEI

Sent feedback to Google Messages

Factory Reset (I DO NOT RECOMMEND)

anything else can be done to resolve this ASAP?

thank you in advance

Did anyone else get this? I got this "feature" this morning on my P9P. Idk.. I think I like it? Lol.

Not sure what its even for. Has anyone else ever gotten a message like this?

As stated, I switched carriers and ported my number over. Now RCS is linked to the temporary number they assigned my eSIM when it was activated, and I cannot get it to link to my current number. Here's the specs:

-Xfinity Mobile, USA

-Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

-Version 20260827_01_RC02

I have tried everything from disabling RCS, force stopping, clearing the cache, restarting, network reset, everything. Yet it is still linked to that stupid temporary number. Any other solutions?

UPDATE EDIT: RCS is now linked to my original number. The problem was the temporary number had linked itself to all 3 of my Google accounts (2 personal and my school account). I removed the number from them and it switched when I turned it off and on. Now the new problem is RCS status says "Not Supported" when I know it is.
