Today, 2nd December, when opening the Samsung Messages app I am getting a message asking me to upgrade to Google Messages app. Seems the end of Samsung Messages planned closure is getting nearer.

If it's already set as default messaging app then you don't get the upgrade message. This is the upgrade screen. 1733137371243.jpg

OK, the best thing you can do is, disable Google messages, and set Samsung messages as the default 😊🙏

I got one on my S22ultra this morning, I just dismissed it as I don't want to be forced to use it by Google. You can still use samsung messages if if you don't upgrade your phone. I don't need to for a while.

I did that when I first brought my S22ultra when it asked me if I want to use Google messages as my default message app, of course I choose not too it's just google trying to take full control of our devices. 😂
