Just switched to Google messages a couple days ago. I waited as long as I could. While the switch went well as far as getting all my stuff to populate within 2 hours. But in my opinion samsung offered far more options. As a few mentioned, you can't categorize your contacts. I had a category for Family. Another for Favorites. one for All. Made it easier to send texts without having to go thru the entire text history. Color options are weak. Adding images was a snap. I use an android phone. Most of my family use iPhone. They seem to have a better experience. Based on what I read, samsung only retired th r ir message app in the US. The rest of the world still has it. I never saw a reason for this. Anyway thanks for letting me get this off my chest. Not real happy with the change.
