A recent update has disrupted texting for some Galaxy S22 users (Android Authority)

The September update for the Samsung Galaxy S22 appears to have caused text messaging to stop on some users' phones.

The complaints claim that the users are no longer able to receive text messages following the most recent update. However, users are reporting that messages do go through after rebooting the phone. Until then, users will just have to rely on workarounds to get their messages. Once the phone is rebooted, all of the missed text messages will appear at once. In addition, the bug is not contained to any one carrier; it is being experienced on multiple carriers including Verizon, T-Mobile, and more. As a result, we don’t know how soon we can expect a fix to come.
