I noticed today that I had a total of 12 messages that were in the Samsung messages app that never arrived to my default app (google messages). Also noticed when I'm doing verification text from PayPal and cash app they arrive in the Samsung messages app instead of my default app. Has anyone else seen this before?
I had a total of 12 messages from customers that never arrived to my default Google messages.
No I haven't. I use Google Messages and get all my texts. SMS permissions are on in Messages's app settings aren't they?
All permissions are turned on, it only happens with certain senders and paypal / cash app. I tested with my wife's s8 on same thing happens with PayPal.
I couldn't use my 3rd party SMS app at all. When I chose it as the new default, I got an OS level warning that it was unsupported and I might not get SMS as a result. Sure enough, it didn't work at all so I had to revert to the (terrible) Samsung app. Pretty crappy lock-in, especially if you have a database of old SMS from a 3rd party app you wanted to restore.
Haven't seen that before. I'm using Google Messages with RCS activated

I wonder what would happen if you used something like CCSWE and disabled Samsung Messaging.
So is this a real thing? I want to pick up an s10 today but don’t want that crap happening
Hundreds or thousands of people have seen this thread, nobody has tossed out a "me too"... I think you're safe.
Having an issue as well with Android Messenger, it refuses to send from Sim 2 but can receive messages. For some reason the Samsung Messenger no matter how much you shut off refuses to release itself. I despise Samsung Messenger , in fact I despise all the Samsung apps.
I have a oneplus 8 pro, and I am disappointed that I can't receive messages nativley on my watch. I was wondering if there was a port of Samsung Messages, that I could install on my Oneplus 8 pro, so I could get the full compatibility? I am fine with switching my default messaging app, I just want my watch to work.
(And yes, I have tried pulse)
Another alternitave is porting android messages over to tizen, but I have absolutely no idea how to get an android app working on the galaxy watch 3 :/
The way you should think about it is not how to get an Android app on the Galaxy Watch, but how to make an app for the Galaxy Watch which will take data from Android Messages (or whatever app you prefer).
The term I've seen on Samsung Developer guides is "Tizen OS app on the watch with Android app companion on the phone".
Another approach would be to reverse-engineer how their Galaxy Wearable app works (and possibly Samsung Messages) and code some sort of app which will take your data from whatever messaging app you prefer and send that as a "fake" Samsung Messaging app to your watch.
Hello would like to know if there's any Message.apk mods for samsung s20 FE Tmobile that you can install thru twrp so we are able to send more video MMS without limitations??
How did you get twrp on the t-mobile is variant?
mms is limited by the carrier, not the device.
only real work-around is to use google messages and enable RCS (both sender and receiver must have RCS enabled), or some other messaging app (whatsapp, etc)
If you are lucky the Samsung messages app may also have RCS enabled as well.
I've seen some threads asking about the google messages apk. but my question is:
My s21 ultra came with google messages by default as SMS app, I also have the Samsung messages app installed (I set it as default instead of the google messages app).
Is there a reason for the google messages app to have come as default? Are there any advantages to it?
p.s. I didn't really find the exact answer around the forum, if there is such answer, can you please point me to it and close this thread?
Regards

I like google messages mainly for the good integration of RCS and also because it has a web app. The UI is fine, darkmode is cool, so if I had to choose I'd go for Google.
Now on why it's google messages by default, I have no clue...
Personally, I like Google Messages, but Samsung Messages now has RCS too I believe. It just got it recently. But from what I've seen and used, Google Messages is probably the way to go. It's just a better experience overall. It can verify business senders, help you report spam messages, and also just a couple of different things that are convenient, like what Raiz mentioned above. I'd go back to Google if you want something that works better overall.
Thanks mates!
Will switch back to Google/Android Messages and test it out a bit more
I use Messages, the only AT&T bloatware app I use.
Edit, it's Samsung not AT&T
Here I am still using Textra lol
Google messages far superior easier to use, much easier adding gifs, emojis and attachments.
I use Google Messages it's really nice and simple to use.
Wish you could uninstall the samsung contacts, calendar, calc, clock, messages, phone etc.... it's the one thing that irritates me with samsung that they spend all this effort replicating what google already does a perfectly good job of.

You can remove using the adb commands. You can find the package name by using the apk analyzer app.
I was using Google Messages on my previous device, but with the S21 I couldn't set conversations to be mute (roaming messages i receive daily on my 2nd sim).
I can only make the notification silent for that conversation, but I don't even want the notification, which I cannot do.
Samsung Messages have this ability
I use signal. Better than both, has everything plus security and privacy.

Been out of the game for a long time. You can do this without root?

Well you can hide apps from the main user (you) with this trick but you can't actually delete the apk file from /system unless you have root.
I personally prefer Samsung messaging app, mainly because of the its UI.
However, the main advantage of Google messages is the availability of RCS by default, no matter where you live or which carrier you have. You can have RCS with Samsung messages but only if your carrier supports it.

Ah, really? I haven't had that problem with my S21U whilst using Google Messages. How were you trying to mute them?

In Samsung Messenger the no notifications option (bell icon with a bar on it) will not even show a notification in the Android notifications area (When I open Messages I will see there is unread messages in the silent conversation), while Google Messages it will still show a notification but without sound.
I use Google Messages because for some reason, MMS won't send or receive in Samsung Messeges.
If anyone has a fix for this....

IMO... Google doesn't really do a good job with most things other than its search algorithms, ad monopoly and data rape....

Exactly, especially their UI. I have a pixel phone and many years after the launch of material design Google still doesn't use it in all its apps. The apps feels completely separate, each has it's ow design and colors. Some apps have dark mode with full black background (setting app) while others have dark gray background (contacts, messages,...). Let's not talk about YouTube, which still doesn't follow MD 2...
I like how samsung use the same design language for all its apps and they pay particular attention to small details just like IOS
My family uses line as social media app.
I am unable to send or receive pics from line on my s21 ultra. I can send photos and receive with with my oneplus 8 pro, but not s21 ultra.
I did following to troubleshoot:
I updated samsung Ota update, downloaded latest line app,cleared cache, enabled permissions, disabled battery optimization.
