I use Samsung messages and will be sad to see it get dropped.

[Oscary]

I mean even tho not many people using it rn but don't delete it entirely just leave it there

It is very sad to see it go, really hoped it to become the Imessage equivalent it aimed to be. Hope Google messages can help with this.

Wonder if this means we're forced to use Google contacts app too...

[Oscary]

samsung used to have a lot of their own version of Google apps and now they are slowly disappearing one by one...

[Robin999]

Yep. The thing is that the integration goes further. If Samsung contacts go, then bang goes Samsung calendar, Samsung reminder, and possibly their phone app.

If you delete it then you'll not be able to reinstall it if you change phones but as long as you switch all your stuff over to the new device.

Not too happy about this, I prefer Samsung apps to Google. I use just the Samsung apps 😔. But I read a good while back it was going to happen at some point.

The best bit about Samsung contacts is the ability to link relatives and tap right into them. Google doesn't have this 😢
