Samsung discontinued its Samsung Messages app and installed Google Messages as the default messaging app to provide better RCS support, especially for newer Galaxy models.
Google Messages offers superior RCS format support due to a larger network of local partners and established integration technology, overcoming Samsung Messages' struggles with varied carrier rules and media formats.
Samsung quietly started transitioning to Google Messages in 2021 and will now default to Google Messages in new models like Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6, dropping Samsung Messages from preinstalled apps.
Samsung emphasizes that the move to Google Messages aims to provide a safer and more enjoyable communication experience, highlighting the shift towards better user engagement and features.
