Is Samsung going to get rid of their messenger app? When I opened the app yesterday several times, it kept popping up for me to try to use the Google messenger app. Seems weird they would advertise it unless they are getting some form of money exchanged. 

 
Also, can they please bring back read receipts please if the app is staying.

Sadly, they're shutting down their old messaging app and replacing it with Google Messages, i already use it and love it

Samsung had features that I miss in the Google app. In Samsung's app the messages could be sorted into category tabs and there was a trash can in case I accidentally deleted something I wanted to keep.

Here's a comparison that shows some of the other features of Samsung Messages.
