Messaging (SMS) app missing from Windows 10 Mobile build 10536

Question

The SMS (Messaging) app is missing on my Microsoft Lumia 535 dual-SIM with Windows 10 Mobile TP build 10536.1004 after resetting. How can I get it back?

Answer 1

I noticed the same thing, but you actually can just install it from the store. Just open this link in your phones browser:

ms-windows-store:pdp?pfn=Microsoft.Messaging_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Answer 2

This is a known issue. Microsoft have acknowledged it and provided a service-side fix. You'll have to hard reset your phone again to get the app back.

I added the correct link as the one by Thomas doesn`t seem to work!

Answer 4

The link and download only worked once I'd switched location off and set region as United States. Probably have to set storage to download apps to phone as well.
