[ONE UI 7] - Messaging Apps

[GoanGeek]

Hi 

Lovely People ..

Seems like Samsung is bent on getting rid of Samsung messages in favour of google messages as on One UI 7 there is no Samsung messages available to download in the Samsung store.

Samsung Messages still works on One UI 7 beta though but we dont know whether it will work on the final version and also if you will be able to reinstall it back if you uninstall it.

Im still holding on to Samsung messages for now.

The below video showcases some cool stuff about google messages and find a lot of similarities to whatsapp so dont really see the benefit myself.

There are also rumours whatsapp will.have some kind of AI as well.

Which one is your preference between. Samsung messages, google messages and whatsapp ?

Thoughts welcome.

Google Messages aren't boring. You can have fun with Gemini for as long as you want, he's always up for a conversation and a response, unlike people. He'll never ignore you. 😄

For me, Samsung it's about options, I don't like Google Messages because crashes a lot (s24u) and I don't like the interface. It's sad that Samsung is removing instead of adding

Hi. I'm contacting you because you mentioned that you've been "... using Google messages...." I'm new to Google messaging, so I have a question I hope you can answer: How do I forward an entire text thread to an email address.

I understand how to open a message and then tap on a segment of a text thread and then forward that single message, but I don't know how to forward an entire thread of a back-and-forth exchange. I've tried a number of ways but am stuck.

Do you have any advice? (fyi: I have a Samsung s24 FE cell phone and am using the Google Message app.)

Thank you!

Tom

If they are going to replace the messaging app with Google. Than we should be able to apply theme park themes to Google apps

Why? Samsung Messages fully supports RCS. The source claiming they don't or "not as robustly as Google Messaging is... Google. Surprised? I'm not. Also, I would take all of the "Samsung Messages is going away" conversation and tell IT to go away. Officially Samsung has never, in any context said it is going away. every time something occurs to promote Google Messages - this conversation, based on nothing happens. When S24 originally shipped without Samsung Messages in the app drawer, we saw this same chatter everywhere, but they had simply UPDATED IT,. Hey, I could be wrong! If anyone can link to ONE case of Samsung saying "Messages is being phased out", kindly bring it. Until then, I call BS. 😉

Samsung support RCS only if mobile network carrier support chat. If mobile carrier not support chat, RCS in Samsung Messages can't be setup. On the other hand, Google provides RCS service through its servers for all those whose mobile operators do not support chat.  T-mobile US has stopped supporting chat, T-mobile in my country too. T-mobile is one of biggest mobile operators on the world.

Samsung messages isn't even pre installed on the 25 series or the fold and flip 6. I still have it on my 24 ultra. But I can't update it as it's no longer in the samsung store
