"Samsung's decision to discontinue its Messages app marks the end of a 16-year era, as the company shifts its focus to Google Messages for Android 12 and newer users."
"The transition to Google Messages reflects Samsung's strategy to streamline operations and leverage Google's extensive messaging infrastructure, which serves billions of Android users."
"Users are encouraged to back up their messages to ensure important communications are preserved, with options including local transfers to external storage drives."
Samsung will end its proprietary Messages app in July, urging users on Android 12 or newer to transition to Google Messages. This change follows a trend where Samsung has increasingly favored Google’s messaging platform, shipping new Galaxy phones with Google Messages as the default. The decision likely stems from a desire to avoid the complexities of managing its own messaging servers. Users are advised to back up important messages using Samsung Cloud or Google Drive before the transition.
