Samsung Messages is trying to force me to switch to Google Messages

[SuperOvni]

 Why is Samsung messaging trying to send me to Google Messages?

 The first thing I don't like about Google Messages is that it doesn't have trash like Samsung and if it does, where is it, could someone help?

Thanks!!!

Hello! I keep getting a notification on my phone to setup Google messages. I don't want this. Is there a real update on samsung messages being discontinued?

No. I doubt samsung is discontinuing messages. It does that with my ultra 24, i just put the app in a deep sleep.

[MieshaS]

That's a good idea. I'll do that.

Of course. I know it can be annoying 🙄 i disabled it. You can uninstall it as well.

They're ditching it for Google Messages as Google Messages has RCS which is better for messaging people

Samsung Messages is at end of life.

I dont want to use google messages, its terrible in comparison, and you can no longer delete it from the phone. Last update reinstalled google messages and you need to disable it to go away.

Only problem is the phone keeps reminding me to upgrade, it's not an upgrade., well maybe the rcs is but Google message is terrible, has a lot les functionality to it.

I totally agree. Some things are better when left alone. I strongly. Dislike the lack of functionality in google messages. I can do with out rcs.

Why are you pushing as to upgrade to Google messages? Do you understand that the reason why I bought the s24 ultra is because I like the samsung ONE UI and the phone. If I need Google messages, I will buy a Google pixel. I don't need RCS on my messages. I can use WhatsApp if I need to, I just need a simple app to message to people. Stop pushing people to Google apps. No one's won't Google apps on samsung. I do my best to remove Google apps every time. If you guys are going to remove the samsung messages. I will change to iPhone.
