[Q] 3rd party SMS

[norgelera]

good day, i tried using 3rd party sms apps on my zenfone 2 (2gb ze551ml variant) and it seems that i can't receive sms unless the 3rd party app is currently open. i have tried textra and google messenger, both can't receive sms unless they are open. any suggestions? thanks in advance

I have only used the stock sms app so far, so i'm not sure how well this will work.

Go to settings > more (under wireless and networks) > default sms app and choose your 3rd party app.

I use Hangouts and have no problem whether it is open or not.

I used textra and gosms both worked fine. Did you make them the default app for SMS and enabled notification. I did ran into problems with dual sim for both apps.
