Why take away Samsung Messages?!

[LoveLace01]

I dont understand the reason for this... the customization on Google messages is terrible compared to Samsung; therefore, I would like to use Samsung Messages. I bought a Samsung phone for the customization features. And now you're taking that away? Please communicate with Google to make the customization the same as Samsung Messages (like we've been asking) because it's starting to feel like Samsung is abandoning their customers...

I'm gonna gripe here because WHY ARE THEY FORCING US TO SWITCH TO GOOGLE MESSENGWR? I swear I'm going to move my service to some 3rd party nobody, at this rate. We pay for Samsung for the features, but if they are going to sell us out to make EVERYTHING Google, then I'm out. I DON'T WANT GOOGLE MESSENGER. NO ONE DOES.

I just posted about this too!! 👏 I'm so annoyed with this, whats the point of buying a Samsung if it no long as any of the Samsung features anymore..😭

👏👏👏 EXACTLY. We don't even get a choice? Samsung is becoming just as bad as Apple😭

But at least apple isn't forcing Google down our throats.

It seems like Samsung is either going to force people into Google or into Apple

I'm with ya! I posted about this, too. The privacy issue is one of my biggest concerns. I'm sick of the monopoly and tired of Samsung forcing their customers to everything Google!

And I just learned about the Privacy issues!!!!!!

Also the lags and crashes. It drains your battery like crazy too

Being forced to switch to something I don't want or doesn't work with some features I need is wrong.
