...except, it only loads messages I've sent from before I got my Android phone. It gets my sent messages from my old iPhone, but anything I've sent with the default Messages app doesn't show up. All my recent conversations are just a sea of messages I received from the other person, with no context.
Is there any way to export those from Messages into Google Messenger?
Seems like you fixed your issue, but just wanted to say sorry that you're using a Samsung phone

Anyway, I turned it off and sent a text in Messages, then went to Messenger and the text also showed up there. So it seems like it's only texts sent with Advanced Messaging turned on that aren't being saved to my phone's SMS history. Not sure if there's anything I can do about this other than never use this piece of **** feature again. :/
Heh interesting, I just solved a different MMS issue for my parents by turning off Advanced Messaging on my mom's phone. She has an S7, dad has Nexus 5X, and he wasn't receiving her messages in group texts.

They need to stop that let's all try to do our imessage it's stupid. Blame your phone providers tho, in France SMS or mms are unlimited for 5+ year and made that kind of feature useless
And gg apple for never releasing imessage on Android that was moronic. Apple is going blackberry down if they don't react. Android won the mobile war and Microsoft is winning the hybrid laptop war.
Lol, iMessage is the only thing keeping probably 20%ish or iPhone users as iPhone users. And what benefit would releasing iMessage to Android have them to compensate for this cost? Apple is a hardware company, not a services company like Google.
You're very wrong if you think Apple's on the out. They have way too strong of a user base and way too loyal of a following. And their products usually fail only in ways that their users (most simpletons) don't care about.
