No Messaging App on 10536???

[Lumious]

I have no stock messaging app on this build. It is missing completely. I cant send or receive text messages. I checked the store no updates. If I cant resolve this I will definitely have to back to 8.1.

Anyone have the same problem or offer a fix?

Use the messaging skype beta app as that is what's being used to replace the messaging app as it combines that and skype into one app.

huh? how do I even set that up? I don't see skype messaging app beta. Do I have to download that? I logged into skype but no text messages are even coming through into my phone.

And am all the only one who has this problem and is it a common thing across the build, I'm sure I would have heard about it, if it was. Plus gabe did not mention it in the blog post that this is a issue. Your response is like this is some known, common bug or something.

Thats an app you need to install from store.

I still have the Messaging app on my 1520. I'm not sure this build would have gone out without such a key piece of functionality.

Tried a hard reset or going back to 8.1?

Mine was missing too, I got it back by just googling windows 10 mobile messaging app download and found a link on the second or third page , it was on wmpu site talking about the app being updated again

Mine was missing too on my lumia 730. But using skype messaging beta instead. Without messaging I cant even login to gmail account because of two step verification:unhappysweat:. Is there any way around to get it back....??

Oh, man, thank you so much ) I thought something wrong with my phone or something like that.

 

[Teo Bartulovic]

No, it is well known issue, you can either, try to install this old messaging app or new Skype messaging app introduced not so long ago...

 

[IIDDD]

Great! I had it (skype messaging beta app) in previous build but it's better to have a choice anyway. Thanks

 

[th34monk3ys]

I did fresh install I found that messaging had gone so did the decent thing and installed skype beta, I was using it before anyhow

 

[Krystianpants]

Open this link and install. I had the same issue. So bad of MS not to include the beta if they are wiping out the stock one.

just finished updating to 10536 on my 1520.
the default messaging app. remains.

Same here, no stock Messaging app on my Lumia 635 after update (Build 10512 -> update to 10536 -> hard reset). I attributed it to not having a SIM card in the phone, but maybe that wasn't related at all.

I also can't get the links here to the Skype Messaging Beta to work either. It tells me on the page "To use this app, upgrade to Windows 10.", but I don't see any way to select which phone to use (I have 3 on the account - one WP 8.1, one W10M and one WP7).

 

[Lumious]

I finally was able to install the default messaging app from the store and it works fine now.

I was missing the messaging app, both times I've loaded 10536 on my 1520. Thanks for the link to the app on the store. Submitted feedback, that's what these builds are for! Squish those bugs MS!
