Samsung fans, it’s almost time to pour one out for one of the company’s oldest Android apps. On April 4, Samsung announced that its longstanding Samsung Messages texting app will finally shut down for good this July. As has been the case with more recent Samsung phones, remaining Samsung Messages users will be migrated over to Google Messages for their new default texting app.
If Samsung Messages is the texting app you’ve been using every single day for the last few years, hearing it’s going away in just a few short months is probably awful news. But as much as change can be frustrating, it’s usually for the best.
