I've checked apps and have Samsung set as default, but the Google messages icon is still there, but it's stopped working.

Goggle moved my to the disabled apps folder.

Go to settings, then homescreen, hide apps, hopefully you will see your messages icon there.  click on the red - symbol.  Go back to where the apps are that are not part of your home screens.  Find messages app, long press and select add to homescreen.
