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??? 

[TechnoSteve]

Google messages are like WhatsApp, and no charges, can send loads of pics, videos and messages. Can also use it to send pic messages to iPhone users and see when they are typing back, technology hey 🤫😊

This!!!! People really don't realize how much Google Messages is 100% better, more stable,  more reliable and secure than WhatsApp . I don't use WhatsApp either,  I don't like it at all

If you enable RCS in Google Messages, you will no longer need to send MMS. If you do not enable RCS, Google, i.e. your mobile carrier, will still charge for MMS.

It's got a dark mode. Don't remember how to turn. It on, but all my messages and list of messages has a dark background

They were having issues with rcs. It seems that rcs may be coming back in version 16. I can still only get 15.xx I don't remember what I liked about samsung, but have grown to love Google. I confronted a friend about it because they were the only non-rcs person in my groups. They like the tabs 'folders'. Looks nice. If I can get version 16 (a part of one ui vs 7?) I will definitely try it again.

I guess the s25 (international? Only?) has version 16 with rcs.

Whatchu mean "tabs folders"??? 👀

Bonjour, j'arrive avec du retard, nous sommes en octobre 2025, et il m est impossible de trouver et donc d'installer l'application samsung message. D'ailleurs elle a été supprimé de mon tel sans permission ou explication. J'ai perdu toutes mes anciennes conversations, je suis grrrrrr ! Obligée de utiliser google message, cependant il est impossible d'y installer des thématiques, la seule option est le changement de couleur des conversations. C'est nul, vraiment. Impossible de changer quoi qie ce soit et de la rendre plus attrayante. Bref. Ca veut dire qu on ne pourra plus jamais avoir de theme message sur un tel samsung ? Y'a t'il une autre application de message qui fonctionne bien et qui propose des thématiques ? Je vs remercie de répondre

Hello, I'm late, it's October 2025, and I can't find and therefore install the Samsung Messages app. In fact, it was deleted from my phone without permission or explanation. I lost all my old conversations, I'm so sorry! I have to use Google Messages, but it's impossible to install themes, the only option is to change the color of the conversations. It's really bad. It's impossible to change anything and make it more attractive. In short. Does this mean we'll never be able to have a message theme on a Samsung phone again? Is there another messaging app that works well and offers themes? Thank you for your reply.

Y'a t'il une autre application de message qui fonctionne bien et qui propose des thématiques ? Je vous remercie de votre aide. Bonne journée

Samsung Messages n'existe plus et a été retiré des boutiques d'applications. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi vous avez perdu l'application Samsung Messages, car je l'utilise toujours et je l'ai installée sur mon téléphone, mais si j'en achète un nouveau, je devrais utiliser Google Messages. On peut changer la couleur du chat dans Google Messages, mais à ma connaissance, il n'y a pas de thèmes.

Samsung Messages is no longer available and has been removed from the app stores. I don't understand why you lost the Samsung Messages app, as I still use it and have it installed on my phone, but if I buy a new one, I will have to use Google Messages. You can change the chat color in Google Messages, but as far as I know, there are no themes.
