Galaxy S Phonesfeatures should be developed into Samsungs messages app. Defaulting to Google shouldn't be the only option.

Galaxy S PhonesWhy would you even have an Android phone if you hate Google so much? I'm old. I've been using Google products since their inception and I've never had any security issues whatsoever with their apps. Tracking? Not really an issue, since on any electronic device you have you are being tracked. I also know how to protect my data and my devices and apps, so still not an issue. By the time it becomes an issue, my time on this earth will be expired anyway.

Galaxy S PhonesI just like Samsungs apps for other stuff.
With the Note 10 Samsung had a seamless ecosystem with Microsoft, Samsung Cloud connected to One Drive, reminders with Microsoft Tasks, and Samsung had exclusive access to link to Windows, all the Samsung Apps synced with Microsoft for a seamless experience...I'm begging to feel like Google bullied Samsung away from it...if you Google...Samsung was on the brink of signing a contract to replace Google search with Bing and Google threatened to sue Samsung over it citing contract issues....so it's not clear cut and dry.
I have no problem with Google, I use their calendar with Samsung calendar, I pay for some of their services... I just don't like the interfaces on their apps.

Galaxy S PhonesSamsung still syncs nicely with Microsoft, still syncs with One Drive, Link to Windows works seamlessly (it's too efficient for my liking, but useful when I want it to link). I have to keep turning it off, because I don't want to always be connected, just when I want to. Still syncs with Outlook, which I assume is where the Microsoft tasks reside (it's been a minute since I've used outlook).
No phone maker is going to make everyone happy, I'm happy when my devices do what I need them to do.

Galaxy S PhonesYou can actually find that information. Go to your phone settings/software update. Click on "last update" and it will give you brief information on what's included, along with a link to the more detailed information. I believe this information is also included when the download notification appears on your phone. Most of us just usually click "update now" and don't bother to read all that.

Galaxy S PhonesIt's not illegal if that specific app is what makes the system run smoothly. As far as I can tell, no one is requiring a specific app, they are just not tweaking their older apps, but people are free to use them. It is also not illegal if other apps that operate similarly are allowed to be downloaded or used. As far as messaging goes, if the technology behind RCS is owned by one developer, then theirs is the app to use, unless they allow others to integrate the tech into their own products. Carriers are also free to abandon an old technology such as SMS, much the way they did GSM, 2G & 3G.
As someone mentioned, Samsung is a hardware company, not a software company. They make the tech and they have obviously decided to focus on their operating system software, not the extraneous stuff like messaging.

Galaxy S PhonesNo one is forcing anyone to use specific apps, and no, it is not illegal even if they were. You can still download the app and use it. They are just no longer supporting it with new functionality. No developer is required by law to keep producing an app. No manufacturer is required to include any software but an operating system and any app that makes the device functional for its stated purpose. That they do, is a courtesy to make user's life easier. Grow up.
What the law says is that no *carrier* can fill your phone up with software you cannot delete and require you to only use software they approve of. They are allowed to limit functionality of certain apps (such as Verizon does), but they have to allow you to use it. The same would be true for phone manufacturers. They have to allow you to use other software, but they do not have to support every function of it. It is for the consumer to decide if that is acceptable for them.
