Issue after update: non-stop pop up - faster richer higher quality chat on wifi or data

I did the latest update to my phone this morning, now I have a non-stop message coming up.  The message is: faster richer higher quality chat on wifi or data. 

I know this is related to the enhanced chat and I've tried turning it off about 100 times. It will not go away! Even while typing this post it popped up! 

Samsung,  please fix this. It is maddening!!!

Nothing worked for me until I went nuclear on Google. After clearing cashes, adjusting google ad setting, disabling and uninstalling every single Google app on my phone and adjusting some settings on my messenger app it has finally stopped. Unfortunately I now have to get used to Waze for navigation and I need to find a new way to download my apps without Google play store.

Same here. I disabled as much Google related features as possible. It largely resolved the issue. I still get this odd blip like it wants to pop up but doesn't. 

On the downside now I can't use half of my car features. Voice to text isn't working and I had to switch to waze. 

I like the phone but it feels half broken now. I think I'm gonna switch over to Apple and try out the iPhone 13. I need a phone that just works and especially works in my car.

I havent noticed signs of the "blip" *knock on wood*. As a rideshare driver I understand the frustration and wanting to switch but Apple feels like a prison to me. While Samsung feels like it's headed in the same direction lately I'm sticking to Android. Maybe I'll try using a Microsoft based OS on this phone and see how it works out.

Go to this google website, add your number then you will not see this annoying message again.

Thanks for the tip! I stopped getting the pop up after disabling nearly every Google related process. Now I get a strange blip now and then. I did try your suggestion and sadly it didn't work. It said I would need to contact my carrier.
