Samsung Text Messaging App - Google Text Messaging App Pop-up Very Annoying?

For some reason just recently now, when I go to my Samsung Text Messaging App, to read or send a text, a Google Pop-up appears asking me to switch to the Google Text messaging app, and make it my default Text messaging App, which I always press "Not Now"
I don't want the Google Text messaging app, I like and prefer the Samsung Text messaging App.

Now I have tried many times in all the settings to stop this Google pop-up from appearing, but nothing can stop it from popping-up.

So I'm really hoping someone in the community knows how to turn off this very annoying Google pop-up, because they have had the same experience and have stopped it happening to them. So, 🤞

Agreed. I do not trust Google either. This really will fuel my next phone choice.

I keep getting the pop up messages to upgrade to Google messages. I would rather use samsung messages.

Have you tried going into settings> apps> messages and turn off notifications?

Yes, that didn't work. But recently, the Google notifications telling me to change over to their text messaging system has stopped. So, 🤞🙏
Google may have got the message that no-one wants to change over.

That's good. I want to stay with samsung messages. I don't want to use Google messages. Why are they doing this? I don't understand.....

Google messages don't support themes from theme store . That's another reason why il stay with samsung messages. I've bought many themes and I like to customize my phone.

Good for you 👍 We shouldn't have to have something we don't want. For now, at least we all have choices, end of.
