Users of Samsung Messages can still use the app on their latest smartphones.
With its latest phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 smartphones, Samsung will no longer pre-install its Messages app on Galaxy devices.
“Starting with the Flip6, Fold6, and newer models, the Samsung Messages app will no longer be preloaded. Instead, Google Messages will provide a new and enhanced experience to express your emotions, making communication safe and fun,” the news was shared by a Samsung user via X (formerly Twitter), first reported by 9to5Google.
It was noticed that while the new update was implemented in the US, devices in Europe and Canada still have pre-installed Samsung Messages.
The function started slowly disappearing in 2022 with the Galaxy S22 series. The same year, Samsung set Google Messages as the default SMS/RCS app on Galaxy devices but left the Samsung Messages app as an option.
The Samsung Messages application can still be downloaded via the Samsung Galaxy Store.
