Samsung Messages app

Preety — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 18:47:26 GMT

I would like to respectfully suggest that Samsung's next update include user-selectable options for the application. I find it highly customisable and personally enjoy using it, as it enhances the phone's unique user experience. It makes the phone feel more personal rather than having a standard application setup for all users. Should Samsung permanently remove it's messaging application and opt for Google messages, I would seek an alternative, as I prefer to minimise my interaction with Google services.

Personally I use Google messages and it works fine (I don't use RCS).

There is talk of Samsung winding down it's messages app (and maybe more in the future) as both offer a fairly similar functionality and experience and it would enable Samsung to roll out updates and OS quicker.

I think it's being sunsetted, focus on Google messages

Hi.

I love and use Samsung messages.

But as I have stated before, somewhere.

I believe it makes it hard for Samsung to maintain some of the apps due to its partnership with various other companies ( google, Microsoft, etc) to support so many apps which not only burdens resources but also delays software updates and support.

I do agree that there should be options given if possible ( unistalling being one of them instead of disabling) as I love sometimes to go all google or sometimes all samsung and mostly a mixture of both.

And that's why I love by Samsung.

Because of the CHOICE they offer.

And I also feel that's what makes them stand out.

To be fair on google's side of apps . I love their google One cloud as it lets me back up everything to cloud and then dont have to worry about how many times I want to reset or if you loose .your phone.

The moment you sign in google everything is back.

If Samsung are pushing us to use Google messages.... then give us the option to uninstall Samsung messages !
