I recently updated my phone, and it suggested to upgrade my text messages to Google messages. Has anyone gotten this message?

I use Textra. Like it better than both of them

I'll look into Textra, thank you.

You are very welcome. I've been using it for years. I like the customizations and everything and they have a free version and a 1 time payment pro version

Still using Samsung messages not got that notice phone models now released will not have Samsung messages but cam be downloaded from the store

Yes I have today. Am doing some research before switching. I thought it was odd to open my messages and see it's asking me to upgrade or not now

I have been getting it. I prefer Samsung Messages and don't like Google Messages at all. I know they are doing it because of RCS, but I don't need RCS. I just want something with a good interface, which Google Messages doesn't have.
