Re: Google Messages One Update

I saw this last night. If I'm reading this correctly, I think it will only be for the S21 models that had the Google Messages app pre-installed.

S21 came with Google messages no? So it would apply this from server side

Google messages is only pre-installed/default outside of the United States. I have a sprint/tmobile branded s21 and it defaults samsung messages out of the box.

I think those which had pre installed like the international models already had this. But I believe this is for those in countries like US which didn't have this at launch. Still unclear though and we will have to wait and see if it's the case. As of now my Google messages on S21 Ultra still looks like Google messages. We will have to wait few days to weeks before server side rollout is complete.

I still highly doubt this will happen for US based S21 but we will see.

Re: Google Messages One Update


Looks as though this will initially affect the global, Exynos, devices outside of the United States, first according to this article from 9to5Google...

https://9to5google.com/2021/04/27/google-messages-one-ui-galaxy-s21/

Already have it on my S21 Ultra in the U.K. Version info 7.9.052 (Pine_RC01.phone_samsung_dynamic)

Re: Google Messages One Update

Uninstalled the play store Google messages with old design and installed the APK version will the one UI style Google messages. Not that much of a difference but there is a redesign. Though says chat features unavailable

Needless to say uninstalling and going to back to my play store Google messages

Yeah I know I installed it as well with apk installer and it installed fine but chat features weren't available. I went back now but will try again later. Also not sure why I care about chat features anyway since I know anyone in Android with chat features and don't use this as main phone anyway

Will give it a shot again later

I feel the chat features struggle, I have 4 contacts that use android. The rest are iPhone, but I still want chat features hahaha.

I had to check it out so I deleted my Google Messages app and reinstalled the APK. I so had to leave the beta program because it kept wanting me to update the app and when I did, it nuked the One UI skin. I dig it!
