What's The Concensus On Using Google's Phone, Messaging Apps vs. Samsung ?

[Anonymous]

I came back to Samsung handsets recently thanks to Sammy's S22 Ultra 512Gb offering and the awesome $800 trade-in received on my struggling Pixel 6 Pro Unlocked! Glad to be back in the mix of things here, and to be part of the One UI 5.0 Beta program!

My question is am I doing wrong by not currently using Google's Phone and Messaging/Chat (Jibe) app, as a few of 'em kinda tagged along when I left Google's Android 13 Beta group before taking the t-mobile promotion, the goal there being to grind it back to the latest A-12 build (on my P6P Unlocked) so I could do the device to device data transfer more efficiently/effectively. 

Just curious what most folks are currently doing on that, especially if they were in a similar situation as mine? Currently, I have the Google Equivalents (Phone & Chat) standing by, as I've been going along with the Samsung defaults there, even with knowing the Google apps are more "endowed" with stock & beta features (I'm beta status on those 2 apps, and several more not currently flagged as "default").

I welcome any and all comments (mod's & ambassadors too, if time), suggestions, or advice on these points that I've been pondering a minute or 2, while using the One UI 5.0 Beta.

Hope to hear from a couple of 'ya, & thanks again in advance. es

T Mobile s22 has Google Messages skinned for One UI, so it seems like Samsung is moving towards the Google specific app becoming the stock and preferred messaging app

I tried Google messages and I didn't like it, so I went back to the Samsung apps ,I like them better.

So, just to be sure I got it right, Google's Messages was a preload on all Galaxy S22 Ultra's or at least this is true on T-Mobile's carrier version?!
If so, that's cool as I've been thinking it's something I mucked-up doing the data transfer gimmick instead of opting-in on setting her up as a new handset. Please advise, if you're aware, it's just for my noodle?!🤔
