Otherwise, you can try and download it's APK from APKpure.com or APKmirror.com.<BR /><BR />Google Messages is more secure, if you care about that sort of thing. But I do miss having the Trash folder, the categories, and the customization of wallpapers for conversation. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":face_with_open_mouth:">😮</span>‍<span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":dashing_away:">💨</span> Sat, 22 Mar 2025 15:16:07 GMT Jess04 2025-03-22T15:16:07Z https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S24/How-can-I-get-Samsung-messenger-back-from-Google/m-p/3178089#M77821 <P><SPAN>How can I get samsung messenger back from Google?

I was ready to throw this phone away precisely because of google messages so i called customer support. They said it's in there vs. the app store since it's an official Samsung app. ❤ Wed, 26 Mar 2025 19:29:39 GMT https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S24/How-can-I-get-Samsung-messenger-back-from-Google/m-p/3181667#M78112 kiikii123 2025-03-26T19:29:39Z https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S24/How-can-I-get-Samsung-messenger-back-from-Google/m-p/3181669#M78113 Its in the Galaxy store, red app with white bag logo.
