Google messages/ gmail

[Catt78]

Samsung tries to get rid of their own text messages app and email ,replacing them with Google messages or Gmail.

Thats fine by me,however, why we,the customers, cannot themed theses apps?

I opened Google messages and has a different colour pallet and a different text font even thogh I have applied a GoodLock theme(or any them from Galaxy Store), WHY???

If you do the switch, do it properly, so ,we,the customers ,don't have to see any changes... Samsung, please dude!!!

It is annoying that pop up. Don't get me wrong,im up for the change,but let us customise the ***** app as per UI

The only difference between Google and Samsung Messages is that you can't change the background, everything else you can customize - different sound for each contact or chat, different bubble colors for each chat, and the advantage is that you can use both AI (Galaxy and Gemini) provided you use the Samsung keyboard. And yes, you can use both Google and Samsung emoji without changing the keyboard, all from the Samsung keyboard

For economic reasons, it's completely understandable to me that Samsung wants to get rid of something that doesn't provide any financial benefit, but would even have to set up an RCS service that would have to be maintained for free, and why would it do that at all and only incur a cost, when Google is already doing it for the whole world, and I assume you know that RCS has been accepted as the new standard for SMS messages

As @Piper123  explained, we are all just users like you, and since I have been using Google Messages for 3 years, I know how much the application has improved in that period and how reliable it actually is. Samsung has been sending those messages that you are only getting now for three years. Samsung also bothered me with switching to Google Messages, I refused just like you... and then the application became very unstable, it crashed constantly and so I switched to Google Messages. I don't regret Samsung Messages at all

Hi @Catt78 

Where does it say that Samsung are phasing out their email app?
