I have been having this issue intermittently where an app I use on another profile requires SMS authentication to login. Even though I have the "Turn on phone calls & SMS" toggled on the profile, the text will not show up. This forces me to have to go back to the main profile to view the text and then go back to the profile the application was on. typically once I have done this, the texts in the other profile will "update" and the text will show up there as well.

Sorry if this has been brought up and resolved already.

Thanks!

    I think you have to use the built-in SMS app across profiles, not the alternative one. Not sure how it is in your case.

      Overlay1404 This happens to me too occasionally on p6p. Using the default messaging app.

      Also, sometimes SMS is not visible in the Owner profile either. It shows up after reboot.

        Oggyo Sorry I should of clarified, I only use the built-in Graphene OS SMS app across all my user profiles.

            Overlay1404 do you have forward notification to current user turned on ? I use google messages in owner profile and stock SMS in rest of profiles , there's only a few second delay from when I get the notification to when the SMS is available.

                Skyway I tried that but it did not seem to change anything although it is nice to know the other profile received the message.

                I did realize that most of the apps were from aurora store, so i tried reinstalling with the playstore and that seems to have solved the issue for now.

                Doesn't really feel like a solution though, as I am still not sure what causes the issue or why re-installing them would affect a profile receiving an SMS.

                  still having this issue or a similar one where I can see the owner profile will get the sms but not the current profile, even though its enabled to get it. wondering if anyone else has this happen and if they have a work around?

                  It got worse... I now need to reboot the phone to see the SMS message in the Owner profile when I was in a secondary user profile when it was delivered. It doesn't happen consistently but often enough.

                  Have you perhaps changed some settings in the default SMS app? Maybe long press Messaging icon>App info> Storage & cache>clear storage + clear cache helps?

                  If you have installed another SMS app in addition to the default messaging app, you could also (temporarily) uninstall it to rule it out as a source of error.

                  Also make sure that cross-profile notifications are activated in all profiles in which the notifications should arrive: settings>system>multiple users>send notifications to current user.

                    I have tried this it does not seem to help.

                    QKSMS was actually much more reliable in terms of receiving SMS in other profiles but I switched back to the default as it does not seem that app is actively developed. This issue also happened regularly with the simple mobile tools sms app, and I am assuming it probably does with the Fossify version of that app as well.

                    This was the first thing i checked but I appreciate you mentioning it.

                          @GrapheneOS This is still an ongoing issue for me. Currently its taken the form of one of three profiles does not receive texts. It used to be I could at least use QUIK / QKSMS to sync messages and grab texts that way but currently the best the profile will do is show a notification saying a text was received but wont actually show the message, regardless of SMS app.

                          Is this just an AOSP issue that has no real solution at the time?

                          Hi all,

                          Having Similar issue here: I can receive SMS on the Admin / Owner account, but I do not received anything on my user account. Notifications across users are enabled, I tried to wipe SMS App cache, but did not help, now the SMS app is empty on the user side (tries to "load conversations" endlessly) and I can only access SMS on the Admin / Owner account ...
                          I'm up to date but still with the issue ...
                          What's going on ? What should I do ?
                          Thanks for any advice.

                          A quick reply: Don't know why / how ... but installing another SMS App (Installed SMS from Fossify ...) Giving it the rights to be the default SMS app, allowed me to read back SMS from my user account ...
                          Reverting back to the old legacy SMS app ... and I can now access my SMS again from there ...
                          Really weird bug ... but seems "workaroundable" in some way ...

                              Thanks for reporting back! That information may well help other users.

                                  Can confirm ulysse31's workaround worked as well as started having the same issue.

                                  @Overlay1404 I struggled with the same issue for several days. Nothing solved my problem and I ended up factory resetting the phone and using the Owner user only (no other users) to solve my issue. See the thread linked below:
                                  https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/19696-sms-messages-are-no-longer-received
                                  The recent overhaul in GrapheneOS seems to have affected the Messaging app the most. For example, it doesn't respect customized notification sound for me and uses the default one. I hope you don't have to go through a factory reset like me.

                                    hakayova nothing has changed for me. The most consistent "work around" is to just use the default SMS messanger in all profiles. Every once in a while I have to use QKSMS for its sync messages features to grab texts that the profile is not seeing.

                                    From your thread I am guessing its a carrier issue for me since this has been happening for well over a year. Its not a huge deal (as typically I deal with SMS in the owner profile) but, dealing with SMS verification in other profiles (such as work) can be a bit annoying.
