Finally, clarification of Samsung Messages!

Samsung has finally chimed in on the future of Samsung Messages, the handwriting has been on the wall since the S24 series made Google Messages the default messaging app.

In July of this year Samsung Messages will cease to function, they have put out a statement regarding an end of service announcement!

I know for many of you this will be extremely upsetting.

About time Samsung said something! They dragged this out way too long.

My kid is very unhappy about this. 🤦

I haven't used it for a couple years anyway. Because google worked better with the apple phones.

I just hope that Google adds the new features they've been working at for Google Messages soon, like custom backgrounds.

I would never have taken you for one that needs to theme their messaging app @

You learn something new everyday!

Yeah, I change my phone background nearly every day.

But to be honest, a custom background in a text messaging chat at my age helps me to quickly know that I'm chatting with the right person when swapping through chats. Different colors don't seem to hack it. It is the only feature that I miss from Samsung Messages.

I give people custom photos if they haven't set their own. Easy peasy!

[Dan2023]

I do as well, but prefer a custom background.

It is especially helpful in group chats when some of the same people are in seperate groups.
