I'll try to explain as clearly as possible.
When I try to attach a backed up google photo using the stock messenger, all of a sudden it's not showing my back ups. It just lets me choose one of about 150 photos even when I choose the photos option like I have hundreds of times. I have over 2000 photos backed up.
When I go to Hangouts and try to attach the same exact way, ALL 2000+ OF MY BACKED UP PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE.
This started last week, and the only thing I did since then was install Allo and I'm not sure if this caused the problem, but it is now uninstalled which would have happened anyway because it's horrible. The problem is still there regardless.
A friend of mine with the 6P just duplicated the exact problem as me.
Can any of you try this and see what's going on please?
How coincidental, I have the same issue.

same issue here. I have an unrooted 5x running nougat. All of a sudden I am no longer able to access my backed up photos in the stock messenger app. I used to be able to. I am still able to open google photos and then link the image to a text message that way.

Try hangouts and see if they're all there to attach. They are for me. This is so weird.
Sent using my 5X on XDA
I switched my default messaging app to hangouts. Still no images at first. But if I click to attach the image there is another image icon on the bottom right. I click that and I can choose from where I want to pull images from. This allows me to access google photos.
This seems like the stock android messenger is just not talking to the google photo's. Wonder if there is a permission somewhere that isn't granted.
I have left feedback as well as a negative review in the store in hopes to get this issue resolved.

Yeah and like I said my friend with his 6P has the identical issue.
I also put this problem in the app review.
Very frustrating.

I find the quick reply not marking the message as read more annoying
This just got really frustrating!!
Can anyone see if they can even share a pic from your Google photos app to someone in messenger? This was my alternative to the backups not showing up anymore using the attach option in messenger.
Now all it says is ERROR DOWNLOADING ATTACHMENT.
Edit: I closed and then opened the Google photos app and now it attaches without the error.
Not sure why this feature was taken out of our stock messaging app.

*Edit: The 12/3 Gmail update seems to have fixed this issue.
-----
I've been having problems with Gmail on this phone. Specifically, the biggest one is probably that when I view an email and then swipe left or right to go forward or back to the next or last email in the box often it will just get stuck loading that email infinitely.
I noticed if I turn the phone sideways and then back up again it fixes it, but it's still really annoying.
I have Ice Cream Sandwich running the lastest Gmail on my HP Touchpad and have not noticed this issue so I don't know if it's a Jellybean thing or something particular to this phone or what.
Ideally I'd like it to be fixed and just use Gmail but I'm open to other mail programs I guess. I tried a few and didn't care much for them though.
has anyone else confirmed this problem? this would be a problem for me when i get my baby lol
I don't normally swipe to get to the next email, I can confirm that my note 2 does suffer from this problem.
I usually just hit the back button and find the next mail. No huge inconvenience for me, but others may feel different.
I figure el Goog will fix it soon enough.

I switched over to the standard email app so I could use the "draw things with the s-pen in email" feature. I'd recommend that but sadly no one can see the pictures I draw when they receive them. Just blank squares

I pre-load lots of videos on wifi while charging (or try to), but the youtube app signs me out automatically after I don't use it after whatever length of time, and I lose my pre-loads.. Never had this issue with phones in the past, anything I can do to stop it from logging me out?
Why use the app? Its always the first thing I uninstall when I get a new phone, install Flash and enjoy full Youtube on a browser.
Can you preload videos using the browser? Doubt it, thats one of the reasons I use it. I quite like it is another minus this signing out issue.
Yea I'm facing this problem too. I think it's due to multiple Google accounts? Coz I'm using 2 Google accounts and facing the problem.

I thought that was the problem too, so I deleted one of the gmail accounts and the problems still there. I had 2 accounts with my last phone and never had this problem so don't really understand.
Yeah this is annoying me too, haven't been able to find a fix. I also have two Google accounts, and deleting one doesn't change anything.
In fact, all new YouTube apps annoy me, the one for ios is the worst piece of crud they've ever come up with. "We estimate that you would rather watch a screen composed of 6 moving pixels rather than waiting a little bit to buffer because of our stupid server priority system, and you cannot choose what you prefer". Thanks Google and apple, together you become the ultimate troll.

I am also facing similar issue and a few more. Play Store isn't updating or downloading apps. Contacts are not getting synced. Please check if you have these issues too.
Would tube mate not work well for your requirements?
I too am having the issue. Gets very annoying. I noticed it when I got the note 2. I have tried all that I can think of, to no avail.
I've read a bunch of different explanations for it, from Google+ integration causing the issue to gapps being the cause.
I don't know what the issue is but I've been having it since the latest YouTube update, so I'd imagine it's something to do with the app itself.

Although it doesnt help me any, its good to know I'm not alone with this problem... All I've figured out to stay signed in is to not close the app when I close all the others by swiping them. If you don't close it, it should leave you signed in.
I'm not having any issues with play store, everything else seems perfectly fine.
I think it's a horrible app you can't see who is online or busy or whatever. This is not a chat service anymore. There is no contact list basically listing all the people from your G+ and contacts. It's horrible!. In every level. I have to scroll through 800 contacts or search just to send a message and it doesn't even let me know if that person is online, so I have no idea how they are getting my messages
I have to agree. This is pretty terrible. They even removed the calling option so its just video now, as if video-only makes sense on a PHONE.
Hopefully Talk isn't dead by the end of the year.

I'm going to agree as well. I dont like that I cant see who's online. And almost all of my contacts dont have this service so, in my opinion, they shouldnt show up at all.

I did that as soon as it asked me to confirm my phone number. I really just want the built-in IM that came with my account, not a Whatsapp clone to replace it. I already have Whatsapp.
Hopefully Talk never dies. Hangouts is social media disguised as instant messaging.
So after watching a video on it, I realized it does show who is online by displaying their profile pic at the bottom when they join the hangout. But still, it shouldnt display ALL my contacts in the contact list. Just the ones who have the ability to use it.
Idk maybe it's just me, but I like the new hangout. You can send screenshots again and everything. Granted, it takes some getting used to, but after playing with it a bit, its growing on me

I just wish it was a proper unified messaging app - i.e. could send carrier SMS to non-Hangout contacts. Incidentally, anyone know what happens to the message if you do try and send to someone who doesn't have it? Must get routed somewhere?

I would think this only works with Gmail/Google+ users. Which, again, is why not all contacts should not be displayed. I'm going to try and search for some info on this.

Why would you think this would happen? Google doesn't want you using carrier SMS anyway. They will shift us to internet-based messaging completely someday. That's why you didn't get SMS integration.
I'm guessing it gets sent to their Google Talk.

So if you go and try to start a hangout it will show you a list of people to start the hangout with, people not available(offline) has their picture grayed out and the available(online) are shown as usual. As far as the video calling-I think if the person on the other end doesn't have video calling available(due to no front facing camera on their phone or no camera on the desktop/laptop) only voice calling will be the option available....have to test it though... I think it's fresh and after awhile it will get better...I don't hate it.
Sadly a lot not to like so far. I was wondering why there were duplicate users in my contact list, if they are showing non-gmail email accounts separately I guess that explains it. Unfortunately, it doesn't show what account users in the list are coming from so you don't know which one you can use, if any.
Hopefully they will fix the contact mess and re-add status information (online/busy/offline, mobile/desktop). I like the new emoji, but hardly seems worth the great leap backwards in functionality.
On the plus side, you can finally copy text from your message history, so that's one longstanding, inexplicable failure corrected

This is what is really annoying. It feels like a dumbed-down product even though its been in the making for what seems like forever. It even requires you to join G+ to get the most out of it. Plus, its not even really that unified, as people still have G+ messenger since this only replaces Talk.
Heck, the app rating in the Play store has plummeted to 3.9 as I type this. What a joke.
completely useless.
I can't believe it took them two years to make this.
google talk was MUCH better, and compared to let's say, whatsapp, google talk was completely useless. that's how bad this thing is.
hi guys! glad to have found this thread.
how are your phones so far?
I have a prob with mine.. it's very weird.
idk if you're using fb messenger... but i can't save images from chat when i'm on it. when I long press on the image and press save image, the little gray popup that's supposed to come up and say "image saved" doesn't appear. tried reinstalling the messenger app, still no go, so i completely uninstalled it.
and then what I did was i also uninstalled any updates from my built-in fb app and then went back to the factory version. I could then save images from chat and they appeared in my gallery under the album named "messenger." so then, I updated the fb app (again--I could still save photos from chat at this point).. so I thought it was all good.
I went back to the play store and reinstalled fb messenger, but then I couldn't save pics again! my friend who also has an m8 could save pics using her fb messenger app (with the fb built-in app not updated since she bought it).... this is just one annoying bug!
has anyone here had this prob? or is it just me. my m8 isn't rooted, no nothing. i reset my phone to factory version and wiped out even the data on my sd card, TWICE. but still the same issue. is it the fb messenger app or is it my phone?

Hi. BL unlocked and rooted VZ Pixel XL. After root I noticed that I could no longer attach a pic or media to a message using VZ messenger. No matter what I choose I get an error message saying "Message + keeps stopping". Odd thing is that if I select the pic in Google photos and use share, then select VZ messenger I can attach and send the pic. I tried attaching a photo using the stock messenger and have no problems. Anyone else experiencing this?

I have the same issue...can receive mms and group texts just not send them... unlocked and rooted on a Verizon Pixel XL...must be something with root...cuz it worked before that...can anyone else confirm with the OP and myself if they have any mms issues after root on Verizon?
OP did mms work before rooted? I tried Verizon messages but it force closes on me...and Textra and Google messages just hangs for until I get a send failed notification.
I chatted with Verizon they have no clue what is causing it...has to be the root I'm thinking. Never had this issue before on any other device I have had...
Edit: I read your post wrong seems we have different issues . I can attach pics just they never send. Weird how I can receive then just not reply to a group message at all...?

You need to use Verizon's messaging app. Verizon has an app for computers and tablets as well. I also use it on my iPad Pro. Works great.
If you're like me, who hates the visual of Verizon's app, you can use their app to set up on other devices, once it's all setup you can go back to Google's Stock app and you still get your texts on every device

Awesome tip, thank you! I hate the look of VZW's app and never use it, so this sounds like a good solution.
I concur, I abhor the UI, but find it tolerable with a lot of customization. I use it because it is amazingly feature rich. The ability to filter conversations by media, links etc is huge for me. The Glympse integration and auto emojis, as well as embedded image search for quick gifs are things I use every day. The picture editor is ungainly, but also very functional. Scheduled messages, auto restore for texts, messaging features like live typing notification, etc.
Atheistic wise, I prefer Textra, but I always find myself wandering back to message+ simply for the features. Again, lots of customization required to be tolerable. Thankfully it allows for that.
