All new Samsung devices in the US will not come with the preinstalled Samsung Messages app anymore.
The news comes as the tech giant aborted plans of doing so despite promising to make that a feature. Now, most high-end smartphones from the South Korean corporation will likely have Google Messages as the default option.
For a long time, the Samsung Messages app has been many people’s mainstay on Galaxy devices. Now, it appears that things are changing as we move forward.
The decision is not quite surprising. The company has been working on phasing this application out for a while, especially after it launched its S22 two years ago. Moreover, the arrival of greater support for RCS messages in Google messages says a lot. However, the fact that it preinstalled the app on devices so fans of Samsung could utilize the option said a lot.
The news comes after being spotted in a new post on 9to5Google where one Samsung member was quick to outline the change. Samsung confirmed in the post that it would not be preloading any Samsung Messages app with its latest variant offerings. This includes the Flip 6, Fold 6, and other new models. Now, Google Messages will be giving the latest and new experience to express emotions that makes chatting and communication safer and more fun than before.
The company hopes to begin shipments of its innovative Galaxy Flip 6 and Z Fold 6 in a few days. So until then, stay tuned as we’ll keep you posted on the response they’re getting from fans around the globe.
