AT&T August update. MaaP?

I don't understand what this means.

Does this have to do with SMS?

"... AT&T announced that it's bringing Messaging as a Platform (MaaP) to Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ owners. This specific service combines advanced messaging features with standardized interfaces to chatbots and plugins."

from reading reddit, I gather that chatbots are available in the Samsung sms app after the August at&t update for s9/+

I have that phone and got the update, but can't confirm because I'm using Google messages app (because I love the option for texting from pc)

Yeah, I just figured it out. It's a new addition to the Messaging app.

I'll likely never use it.

if you have carrier locked at&t phone 965U , you'll get it any day now.

if you are impatient, go to settings and set date manually ahead a few days into the future. then check for software updates. it works!
