Click on App Info
Step 3
Scroll Down and choose “Storage”

3. Incompatibility with iMessage
If someone with an iPhone attempts to send you an iMessage on your Samsung phone, they’ll encounter difficulty as Samsung devices lack support for iMessage. The iMessage service exclusively operates among Apple devices. Consequently, iPhone users must resort to sending traditional SMS to ensure successful communication with their Samsung phones.
4. Deregister from iMessage
If you’ve recently shifted from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy phone, it’s possible that you forgot to disable iMessage. This may explain why you’re not receiving SMS on your Samsung device, particularly from iPhone users. Your phone number remains associated with iMessage, leading iPhone users to unintentionally send iMessages. As emphasized earlier, Samsung phones do not accommodate iMessage functionality. It’s advisable to deactivate iMessage before making the switch to an Android phone.
Step 1
Open Settings and tap on Messages

Step 2
Disable iMessages

If your Default Messaging App is Samsung Messages, then download different messaging apps from the Google Play Store.
6. Check SIM Cards
If you are not receiving messages then you might need to perform a small operation. You need to eject SIM cards and re-insert them properly. Give it a try!
