Disappointed that Samsung messages is being dropped as the default messaging app

[Ryekia]

I can't be the only one that is disappointed by samsung dropping their messaging app. I mean it was one of the great things. I could actually theme it and make it my own. Yea I wanted rcs, but I didn't want that to mean that they just stop the app. Now it's pretty much google and that's it. Google sucks. I got an android phone to make everything my own. But as things keep going I lose that capability. It was one of the best things samsung had over apple and google. I feel like the longer I keep using my phone the more and more it tries to be an iphone. I wanted to see all the customization, but with messages and the ads everywhere, it's just becoming hard to justify telling my family that it's not bad. I mean that was supposed to be what android is all about, customization. Now it's slowly being taken away.

Google has always been minimal but you can still have samsung messages by downloading a apk at https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-messages/
Hope I helped you out have a good day and stay positive

I have samsung messages. But they won't let me do RCS. In order for me to use rcs, I have to go to google.

You should have to forced to switch keep that in mind you don't have to use Google messages you can continue to use samsung messages like normal there should be no problem sending things via rcs with samsung?

Rcs in my area does not work on samsung messages. I prefer the native app over Google. The world is moving to RCS.

Once, there were 8 track cartridges in cars and stereo. Now, we stream and find ways to produce lossless sound

I have news for you Android is Google, so Google messages is the native app and Samsung is the add on.

What phone do you have and who is your carrier?

Tmobile. S24 ultra

Is it an unlocked device or a carrier branded one? RCS has never worked in Samsung messages for my carrier branded S22 Ultra
