Samsung galaxy S10 text messaging app

[Bev54]

I have recently purchased a refurbished suite galaxy S10 and i managed to move the apps i was using on my other galaxy phone but the text messaging app doesn't seem to be the same one as on my previous galaxy phone.  Can anyone help me by recommending which text messaging app is for the galaxy S10. Please?

The standard/stock text messaging app from Samsung can be found in the Galaxy Store. Search for Samsung Messages - see screenshot.
It should already be installed. Don't know what you mean by refurbished "suite" galaxy S10?

Thank you for your help, sorry about the typo, meant to say I recently purchased a refurbished Samsung galaxy s10

If this is the one that is already installed, then it is the latest version of it. There could be a Google version of the messages app installed too, and it's easy to get confused between the two.
I either uninstalled or disabled the Google version on my phone as the Samsung messaging app is much better and reliable.

Ha, no worries. I suffer with typos myself on occasions ☺️

I followed your advice and this came up, I assume that this version is not safe?

I sent a screenshot of what it said in the galaxy store when I found a messaging app, I chose not to install it, I didn't press anything but the app has installed anyway, don't think it is safe to use?

I would go with the warning if I were you and make sure it is uninstalled/deleted off your phone.
The screenshot I showed you clearly has a different icon than this one. Plus mine also shows from Samsung Electronics Co. underneath the title.

This is the one that I disabled on my phone.

Look for Google messages or messages by Samsung they are safe options. I prefer the Google messages myself but it's down to preference.

Don't use other apps just to be safe as bigtasty65 said
