 Samsung discontinuing its texting app, tells users to switch to Google Messages   Summary Samsung is saying goodbye its namesake texting app. According to an end of service announcement published on the tech giant's U.S. support website, Samsung Messages will be discontinued in July. Impacted owners of Samsung smartphones and other gadgets are being asked to switch to Google Messages in the meantime, “to maintain a consistent messaging experience on Android.”   Quotes Quote Samsung says "switching to Google Messages will give users access to updates like the latest artificial intelligence features from Google's Gemini — which includes an experimental feature called “Remix” to generate images during conversations and AI-powered reply suggestions — and the ability to share higher quality photos between Android and Apple iOS devices through RCS-enabled messages."   My thoughts  Personally I've switched to google messages years ago, I found it better to use compared to Samsung Messager app, And I feel that google message became the default Message app on android devices in recent years.    Sources https://abcnews.com/Technology/wireStory/samsung-discontinuing-texting-app-tells-impacted-users-switch-131766567
