Is there a way to get Samsung Messages back??

[Android Central Question]

Somehow I have 'lost' Samsung Messages. I have a message app but it's not Samsung Messages.
I have a Note8.
Can't find the app in the Galaxy Store either.

messages is Samsung messages . unless you download google messages also called messages.

Samsung built their new Messages app on the Google app, so they're pretty close to being the same thing now. (It's all in preparation for RCS - which, unfortunately, may take another couple of years to be fully operational.)

Hello there. It sounds like you may have made a mistake, and hid your Messages app. Go to Settings, Display, scroll down to Home screen, then go to Hide apps. It will then show any apps that you have hidden. If you his the Messages app just select it to unhide it. I hope this helps if that is the cause. Good luck!
