iPhone X Message App Crash

I have a new iPhone X and each time I try to open the messages app it crashes before it’s even able to open. The only fix was to reset my phone and instead of restoring from a backup I had to set up as a new phone. Is there any other work around to fix this?

I had the same issue with crashing messaging app, tried every tip without success. But now I got it working without resetting the phone.. All i did was scrolling down on the main screen, bringing up the search bar. Then typed the name of a person I resently messaged, followed by selecting the search result. Voila, successfully working message app!

Figured this out by my self this morning. Seemed to work as of now. my message app kept crashing too. Test one when you get a new text and shows in notificationS, you can reply from there works. I was in slickdeals app and wanted to share a deal through message app and bam the message app opened with out closing. So try finding a app with share button, select message, and then now my message app works going direct to it. Even after force closing.
