Samsung has officially confirmed that it will shut down the app in July 2026, with Google Messages serving as the default.<\/p>\n<p>The company has already started informing users that they will no longer be able to send messages through Samsung Messages (except for emergency services or contacts), and the app will also no longer be available to download from the Galaxy Store. It&#8217;s worth noting that you can&#8217;t install Samsung Messages on the Galaxy S26 series you already have.<\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p id=\"elk-bc848b73-0fb3-4a05-957c-176b34386408-2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Along with Google Messages, Samsung Messages was one of the only apps to fully support RCS on Android. And now, you have to go to the Google option.

The app now includes a dedicated Gemini button, so you can start chatting with the AI \u200b\u200bdirectly from within your conversation. The idea is to make it easier to do things like draft messages, brainstorm ideas or plan events without leaving the app.<\/p>\n<p>Although this sounds useful in theory, it also means that Gemini sits right next to your personal chat. You can disable it from Settings, but I&#8217;m not entirely comfortable with integrating an AI assistant so tightly into an app that handles my private conversations.<\/p>\n<p>With Samsung Messages, you won&#8217;t have to deal with any of this. It was a simple, easy-to-use RCS messaging app, with no AI features taking up space or attention.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-9838f69e-c660-42ad-83db-3c8a8c5f91c9\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"more-chat-customization-options-built-right-in-3\">More chat customization options now built-in<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-719d0936-ec95-4b3d-bce2-e976d84ee705\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:2048px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB.jpg\" alt=\"Google Messages app on Galaxy S22 Ultra\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/7CRjkmJizdcTFMsyrcf6PB.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Nick Sutrich\/Android Central)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-ce851b67-255c-4606-a036-39e14e0d048a\">One thing Android users are accustomed to is customization, and Samsung Messages has mastered it perfectly. The app lets you make changes to almost everything, from changing chat colors and message bubble colors to adjusting contrast, applying theme-based styles, and even using a wallpaper-based color palette.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-gZ6GPwuuNaz4xeCqxPfqnm\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-gZ6GPwuuNaz4xeCqxPfqnm slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Get the latest news from Android Central, your trusted partner in the world of Android<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Google Messages, on the other hand, seems pretty weak in comparison.

Just like you can organize emails in Gmail into different tabs like Primary, Updates, Social or Promotions, Samsung Messages lets you do something similar with your text.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pb-0 pt-2 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"&#10;            flex&#10;            after:content-('') after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-(0.7rem) after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-(#ccc)&#10;            before:content-('') before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-(0.7rem) before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-(#ccc)&#10;            font-article-heading pb-0 !text-base uppercase sm:text-sm font-bold&#10;        \"><\/p>\n<p>            what to read next<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>You can group different senders into specific categories. For example, you can put all your bank and card messages in the financial category, put your close contacts in the primary category, and even create categories for things like food delivery or shopping updates. This makes managing messages much easier.<\/p>\n<p>However, Google Messages does not offer this. while it is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/apps-software\/i-kept-deleting-chats-by-accident-and-google-messages-just-fixed-it\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/apps-software\/i-kept-deleting-chats-by-accident-and-google-messages-just-fixed-it\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/apps-software\/i-kept-deleting-chats-by-accident-and-google-messages-just-fixed-it\">Features like trash section were added, yet there is no way to properly categorize messages by sender. It seems like Google could easily make some improvements with AI (even if it raises some privacy questions), but for now, this is a big feature missing from Google Messages.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"google-messages-isn-t-a-bad-rcs-alternative-3\">Google Messages is not a bad RCS alternative<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-c5888d3b-3b37-4c8f-9ced-b24ed5589242\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:4004px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.24%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S.jpg\" alt=\"Transcribing a voice message on Google Messages\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/i7E3q4FJcfqW2HYVLwYG4S.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Derek Lee\/Android Central)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-e3ca8921-3060-4206-8bcf-ecd2bb375fdc\">With the Samsung Messages app shutting down in July 2026, the brand is asking users to switch to Google Messages as the default messaging app on their phones.<\/p>\n<p>And while it&#8217;s not a like-for-like replacement, it&#8217;s currently the only SMS app on Android <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/apps-software\/rcs-v3-1-update-cleaner-voice-messages-services-improvement-update\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/apps-software\/rcs-v3-1-update-cleaner-voice-messages-services-improvement-update\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/apps-software\/rcs-v3-1-update-cleaner-voice-messages-services-improvement-update\">Fully supports RCS.

There are some customization options available, and similar to Samsung Messages, you can disable Gemini from Settings if you don&#8217;t want AI in your chats.<\/p>\n<p>It also includes features like Messages for Web, which is useful for entering OTPs on your laptop, and advanced spam protection that isn&#8217;t available in Samsung Messages.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"google-messages-has-improved-a-lot-over-the-past-few-months-3\">Google Messages has improved a lot in the last few months<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-8958d1e5-f9e9-4361-a552-4f75092345ac\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me.jpg\" alt=\"A new chat is opening in Google Messages\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/35Yq6w3tdYgbEUVQYQz8me.jpg\" class=\"inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Sanuj Bhatia\/Android Central)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-11523d21-245e-4e04-80f0-62d55d0ac88e\">The reason I&#8217;m not entirely disappointed with Samsung Messages&#8217; demise is that Google has been making a real effort to improve its Messages app recently.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve seen additional changes like small but useful tools like Trash folder to recover deleted chats <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/apps-software\/google-messages-picking-up-a-couple-of-handy-features\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/apps-software\/google-messages-picking-up-a-couple-of-handy-features\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/apps-software\/google-messages-picking-up-a-couple-of-handy-features\">Ability to copy specific parts of a message, and mark RCS notifications as read from Wear OS.
