If I tap on New Conversation, there is option to Create Group. Is that not it?Attachment 333948

Samsung message app is different like TheAngryToaster mentioned

[jhimmel]

That is for group messaging.

Samsung app has categories in which you can add specific contacts to.

Got it.

Yes, someone figured that out earlier. You have to leave the beta or you will be updated to a version without one UI.

I couldn't even install Google Messages on my new S21 from the Play Store until I left the beta program (which I had to do on my old phone).

I'm obviously alone here, but I preferred Samsung messages. Unfortunately it's greyed out if you try to make it the default

To change default message app?

[Cairdeas]

Yes..I get to that where I select Samsung messages as default.. But when I go back to the app..it just asked me over and over to select the default app, and I can only continue if I select either Google messages or messenger as default. I followed a YouTube video and deleted data and everything. Just won't let me do it. It's no biggie. Just a bit annoying lol. Thanks guys x

[Cairdeas]

@jlanger..Did yours come with Google messages preinstalled? It's maybe just my phone. I tried lol x
