I have an LG G4, I've looked for something in the settings to change but I can't figure it out. I've been using the stock messenger since this started happening but I'd like to be able to switch back to Hangouts. Any solutions?

try downloading the apk from here on your phone

Make sure you select the correct one and latest one. If it still fails, download the last one that worked before update.

Google sent me a link to try out Google messenger when I was messing with Hangouts. Trying it now.

I just switched to Google messenger about 3 weeks ago. I can't believe they don't support hangouts more. It seems like that app has way more features and benefits.

I switched at the beginning of the year and have to admin, I rather it now. I think they are moving back to keeping hangouts separate for some reason.

Because they never could get sms/MMS right between the two apps. It was always a clusterf*ck

They've finally thrown in the towel and will be splitting sms back out from hangouts, which is why on the latest hangouts update they alerted users to messenger.
