Upgrade Your Messaging Experience
The Samsung Messages application will be discontinued in July 2026. Upgrade to Google Messages as your default messaging app today to maintain a consistent messaging experience on Android. Please check the Samsung Messages app for the exact date when service will be discontinued. Users of an older Android OS (Android 11 or lower) are not affected by this End of Service.
Switch to Google Messages for the following upgrades:
- Powerful Security - Al-powered scam detection and robust spam filters identify and block suspicious texts to help keep your inbox clean and your personal information safer.
- RCS Messaging - With RCS enabled across Android and iOS, you and your friends can share high-quality photos and videos, enhance your group chats, see real-time typing indicators, and more.
- Please note: For cross OS communications all members must have RCS enabled. For Android this requires Google Messages. For iPhone it requires iOS 18 or later.
- Expressive Al Features - Access powerful Gemini features to bring Al-powered expressivity to your chats, including remixing photos and smart replies.
- Multi-Device Connectivity - Switch chats between your phone, tablet or smart watch (Galaxy Watch4 or newer required) without any interruption.
- Please note: Galaxy Watch4 or newer is required.
