I expiremented with google messages which has many kinks, when I decided to switch back to samsung messages, my phone will not allow me to.

anybody have any idea on how to get my samsung messages app to work again? when I decided to switch back to Samsung messages, my phone will not allow me to anybody. There is no option for me to check off to use it as a default app.The only app now that is working is the google app.... and its bad and it cannot be uninstalled.

Kinks?  What kind of kinks?  I have been using Google messages since its inception and never found a single glitch.  What you consider kinks may that it's just not the interface you are used to and the settings are a bit different.

The microphone does not turn off even when I click it off.It will pick up everything that is said in the room
Also, when I talk, text, it doubles the message automatically, and then when I try to delete the message and not send the second repeated one I have difficulty in deleting it. I have to delete it manually. Instead of long press on one word and swipe the selected area with one backward stroke. This does not happen. I have to delete the second message manually.And it's a pain in the ×@%<$

There are some good features to Google messages and being able to find group messages and enlabeling them. I also like the options of different kinds of emoji and gifs... But it's not worth the hassle of having a microphone that does not turn off or that repeats my messages
This does not happen with samsung

The microphone in the message panel is to send a voice message, not to dictate your text. It does transcribe the text, but also attaches the voice file (what a waste of bandwidth). Use your keyboard microphone for talk to text. I know if someone sends me a voice text, I'm not listening to it. I have also never had a problem with double messages. Might be a bug in the recorder/transcription app. When I choose to talk to text, I just use the keyboard mic.

google messages is the best. Samsung messages should be removed as a whole.

To get Samsung Messages working again you have to go into Google Messages and Deactivate RCS Messaging then Samsung Messages should start working for you again
