Re: Samsung SMS or Google Messages

Obsydian · ‎17-03-2023

I swapped to Google Messages, but finding links do not show, some useful auto complete, but not much else.

I only re-enabled it thinking would be easier to use with my Watch5, but not seeing any benefits over the stock Samsung SMS.

Anybody think the same or am i missing something?

Hello @Obsydian, I've found that when I leave my phone at home and just wear my Watch 5 Pro LTE, I have to use SMS Messages to ensure delivery every time. It may just be service provider issues, but I've decided to stick with what works for me.

Sorry, Samsung not Google.

That is a bit of a surprise regarding the functionality with Watch5, though I only really tried Google Messages briefly a while ago and preferred Samsung's stock app. Be interesting to hear other's experiences.

I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.

Interesting as I thought Google gave that continue option without an LTE watch.

I thought the same with Google nessaging, but how would it work without a phone nearby or not connected to a wireless network? I've found that Samsung messaging needs/requires/prefers mobile data on for successful messaging.

I prefer Google messages. As its easier to use
