Messages App Freezing in Mac OS 10.14.4 Beta

Anyone else getting the Meassages App freezing (spining ball) for a intermittenly? It's not full on crashing. But, basically constantly getting stuck. Sometimes I can select a converstation. But, many times can't

I have the same issue. For me the mouse still moves but basically the entire system stops responding for about 10 seconds.

So, I cleared my system's cache and upgraded to latest beta build (18E194d). Seems okay so far. We'll see.

I have to turn off iCloud to make it stop. It must be iCloud sysncing messages issue. It started with the first beta but has not improved. 3-5 minutes of just endless spinning beachball. You can't FORCE QUIT either because all functions stop when it does this.
