Samsung Messages Closure Further Information

JAMES4578 — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 13:59:42 GMT

I know there has been a bit of discussion already about the imminent closure of Samsung Messages, some strong opinions expressed whilst others are more relaxed -more so if they are already using Google Messages.

just that on the official US samsung site it states it is applicable to the US market only, previous information had been from US articles but it was believed it would apply globally.

However this does not mean that Samsung Messages is safe in other regions,the timetable may be a bit different but with lack of investment, better support for RCS and other features in Google's app support is likely to end soon.

It was Android Authority that broke the news over the weekend which claims with was effecting the US users and not any other countries as yet, but as leaks are it leads to various miss information so like the last time it happened couple of years ago we will have to see 👀
