Who else is annoyed about Samsung switching to Google Messages?

[urclippy]

I just read Samsung is forcing users as of July 2026 to Google Messages and I'm quite annoyed about it. I'm a Samsung lover because I like their setup. If I wanted to use Google, I would get a Google phone. I hate Google Message!

I choose to use Samsung Messages over Google Messages any day! I dislike how much Samsung has integrated Google into their phones. Like you said, if I wanted a Google setup, I would've gotten a Google phone. I've loved Samsung since I had my first one years ago - the S8+. Samsung all the way!!!

I said the exact same thing. I'm checking out Textra SMS as alternative. It doesn't have RCS compatibility. Google us refusing to allow compatibility to any other SMS platforms meaning you won't see texts from all others who fall prey to Google's antics. Guess that will mean family and friends will have to call or email me to communicate because I refuse to be forced by Google to conform!

If they click smd you would get the texts.
Never had a problem with my iPhone family. Only 1 person. But now with in another group who are iphone finanatics I can't get texts. So I had to go google. G is a messy 'page's me. Hard to find where to write,also how to delete some ,no all texts from a thread.

Call Samsung tech support and complain to them
