Samsung Messages discontinued

[EBethS]

Recently received notification about SMS Samsung Messages switching to Google. How can I opt out to this? 

[PJ78]

You can't unfortunately.... They are shutting down in July... No more Samsung messages after that..

If your in the US go to the FTC and report it. This is actually illegal they cannot keep messenger on older devices and newer ones that can handle GOOGLE broken garbage forced to have it AFTER they sold phones with the feature of Samsung messenger. This is classic enaround or bait and switch .

I think Google messaging sucks!!

[Diaboyos]

You can't opt out. There will be no more Samsung Messages.

When does this take effect? Or has it already?

I agree I dont like Google messages due to the fact you can not customize like I can with samsung messages and I dont want to be forced into something we as the costumer and loyalty consumers would like to keep the samsung messages and if you like Google then they would have the option to switch between the two
