How do i reinstall Samsung Messages

[Android Central Question]

I uninstalled Samsung Messages completely and now I am looking to get it back. But I can't install it by apk because it fails. How do I get it back without a hard reset please? Thank you.

Is your device rooted?

I don't know if Samsung Messages exists as such any more. In their newest version they've reskinned Google Messages and they are putting it on devices as the native messaging app. It might be easier to just get Google Messages that way you can get it from the Google Play Store and not some random APK mirror.

First one is Google and second one is Samsung.

I have a S21, I used a windows application (can't remember which one) that supposedly debloats unrooted phones. I removed Samsung messages in favor of Google's version. Now my phone won't let me use the accessibility setting to grant access to apps that request it. I read somewhere that for some reason removing the messages app creates this issue. So is there any way to reinstall it and if so what packages would I need? Thank you all for chiming in.

Welcome to AC!
Yes you can run ADB command to remove bloat but much easier using these 2 apps Alliance Shield X (free in play store ) or https://www.packagedisabler.com/( paid )
