Samsung Messages

[JudyTeal]

Why does Samsung Messages keep asking/prompting me to upgrade to Google Messages??? Is the Samsung text messaging app being scrapped or something??? 

[Piper123]

Samsung appear to have commenced a managed migration by users to Google Messages ahead of a future closure of the Samsung Messages app

NOOOOOOOOO!!! 😩 Google Messages isn't themed!!! 🙆🏾‍♀️

Samsung messages will be replaced by Google messages eventually. I'm still using Samsung messages and keep getting the message to upgrade. At the moment it's a no.

[JudyTeal]

When though?? Do we know???

[AmberLouise]

I'm not sure it's just been slowly phased out at the moment. Google is now the default app for phones (was for me) I was able to disable it though and use Samsung messages

Samsung messages was really poor. Moved to Google messenger months ago and far better experience.

I've just moved now. (Figured why fight the inevitable.) It's too ***** bright!!! But it has Scheduled Send so I'm good. And it'll send MMS messages just fine right??? Like long ass text messages???

Always used Google messages instead of Samsung, I think Samsung messages was a big failure for Samsung and glad they are getting rid of it. I use Google messages even more than I use WhatsApp, it's as secure if not better. No more MMS charges, works across every device, including iPhone now, since 🍏 had its 18.0 update.
Hopefully within the next year I should stop using other messaging apps.
