Google Messages’ photomoji feature has been failing for many users.
The latest beta version of the app seems to fix the issue.
The fix should come to the stable version of the app in the near future.
Photomoji, the Google Messages feature that lets you turn photos into reusable stickers or message reactions, has been acting up lately. User reports say that for the past week or so, Messages has been showing an error message when photomoji is opened. Google’s already on the case, though, with a fix in progress.
As spotted by PiunikaWeb, Messages has been showing an unhelpful error dialog when users try to accessing photomoji, only saying that “Something happened” with the feature and instructing the user to try restarting the Messages app. Users say following that instruction doesn’t solve the problem. The latest beta version of Messages does seem to resolve the issue, indicating that a solution should be around the corner for the stable release version of the app, too.
