I loathe and despise Google messages. I am shocked Samsung discontinued their own messaging app. They are just like every other android. I was Apple dedicated always until 2020. My phone's, computers , tablet, watch. I switched to Samsung at urging of my spouse. I now think I will go to apple with the next device I need

Samsung bring back messages

Do you hate Google's Messenger because other people hate it?

It's pretty much a museum piece now.

Rather than find an alternative to Google messages on the play store you are going to switch ecosystems?
Did you move to a new state because you don't like the color of the trashcans your current city offers?

Switching because removal of one app is DIABOLICAL. I even made a post regarding it.

It's such a core part of the phone too. Super disappointed at Samsung over this. It makes me wonder how dedicated they are to maintaining all of their other apps...
