We recently reported how Google Pixel 3 owners are facing overheating issues while charging, causing the device to shut down. While the problem still prevails for some users, the device is back in news with a different issue. This time, the Pixel 3 owners are losing their text messages. A significant number of Reddit users have noted that Google Pixel 3 keeps deleting all of their text messages. The conversations dated years back have suddenly disappeared.
The issue started surfacing a couple of days before, so we know it’s not something that had been prevailing since the launch. Although, Google Pixel 3 users have registered several issues ever since the device came out.
Issue Started Showing Up After the Latest Security Update
Some users reported that their messaging app behaved in a peculiar fashion at first, like starting a new thread for a present chat, deleting the recent ones. And then, all of the threads, old and new, disappeared altogether. Some users tried restarting their devices, and they only ended up losing all the older conversations. We have established it’s not a launch issue as people have started reporting this just last week. However, the Pixel 3 devices recently received the November Security Update along with a messaging app update and that could be the source of the matter. The November Security Update was supposed to fix the wireless charging issue, instead, we have a regular charging overheating situation and the message ghosting issue.
