Google Messages One UI Update

I have beta on so maybe that is why I got it.
I'm on beta and haven't gotten it yet. There is some server side changes involved as well as usual. Nothing from Google will be without server side flip
 
Has anyone in the US gotten the One UI version organically without having to leave beta and download the APK? I really like the One UI version.

Sorry, I meant I got "a" update after I manually installed the one ui messages update. That update killed the One UI update, so left beta and reinstalled the one ui messages version.
 
I'm not sure on beta but works great without beta .
Yeah but you still had to download the APK right? I'm curious if anyone in the US has just gotten an update with the One UI version without having to mess around with the APK.
 
Does the one ui update include message groups as well. That is the reason I am sticking with stock. I have all my work contacts in a group that makes it so much easier to find and text them.
 
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).
 
Got update 7.9.054 today. I am not in beta but update got rid of one UI look, anyone else?
 
I'm obviously alone here, but I preferred Samsung messages. Unfortunately it's greyed out if you try to make it the default
