Pixel 8 Pro. Build Number 2024121200.

I've installed the QUIK messaging app because I'm unhappy with the default Graphene Messages app. (I won't go into the shortcomings here.) I seemed to have no trouble setting the default SMS app in Settings>Apps>Default Apps. I have restarted and logged in.

But new incoming messages keep going to (non-default)Messages. I now need to check two messaging apps instead of one. I am seeing this in both primary and secondary profiles.

Note: QUIK has a feature in its Settings to "Re-sync your messages with the native Android SMS database" and this works in term of me periodically getting everything over into a single messaging app, but this is obviously not a longterm solution.

Any help greatly appreciated.

One thing I'll throw out there: I am sorely tempted to experiment with deleting the built-in Messages app entirely, but I have no idea if that would address the issue, and I'm also unsure of how I might reinstall it in some future scenario if I wanted to go back to it.

Are you experiencing this issue in the owner profile or a secondary user profile?

I am seeing this in both primary and secondary profiles.

Have you tried another third party SMS app? Is the issue specific to QUIK or does it apply with any third party SMS app you install on your device?

To be honest, I don't know what's causing this issue but I do have some ideas of things you could check.

I do know that in secondary user profiles you might need to use the default Messaging app or the Google Messages app. In the owner user profile, a third party SMS app should be fine.

I would try either temporarily disabling your secondary user profiles, or setting your SMS app to the default one in your secondary user profiles, and then seeing whether you receive SMS messages correctly in the owner profile.

Well.... disabling (deleting?) all my secondary profiles would be a drastic measure, and not really something I'm going to do lightly. I've deliberately configured things so that I only need to duck in to the owner profile for admin-related work. So that's not really an option. All my meaningful data is in secondary profiles. What the owner profile does with SMS is really only of indirect concern for me.

And I'm reluctant to install Google Messages, for the usual privacy/security reasons. So I guess I'm stuck. This is really frustrating. If this discussion is correct, secondary profiles should really come a big warning that one can only use the stock Messaging app.

    strict-marsh I admit I'm a little late to the party here but I started using GrapheneOS this week and I'm having the same issue, and I'm in a secondary profile. I don't suppose you ever found a solution to this?
