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

[Smasungman]

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, 🤞

I think I figured it out so far it seems to stop the annoying popup to switch...go to settings, security and privacy, permissions manager, scroll down to SMS, remove Google and Google play store, ignore the warning it will not affect the message app or anything else.

I had the same thing happen, and going into settings and changing the default messaging app fixed it. Just had to choose the one I actually wanted to use.
