Samsung goes with Google Messages for Galaxy smartphones: Check the reason
In a move to give precedence to Google Messages over its own messaging app, Samsung has reportedly announced that it will not pre-install Samsung Messages on Galaxy devices. The South Korean electronics maker has already phased out the app in some regions. The company had discontinued its messaging app with Galaxy S22 series in 2022 after offering it on Galaxy smartphones over the years. This also coincided with Google’s Rich Communication Services being promoted. Samsung Messages do not support RCS but Google Messages does. Additionally, Google Messages was made the default SMS/RCS app on Galaxy devices by Samsung in 2022 but Samsung had pre-installed its own app to offer the option to users to use it.
