Chrome

No email (mine is a secondary phone), but I’d most likely stick with Gmail
Samsung Clock (with weather)
Google Keep
Samsung Experience (what they call TouchWiz now)
Neither health app (I use my iPhone and Apple Watch for that)
Neither (Apple Pay), but I’d probably use Samsung Pay

i use Samsung Messages, Samsung Internet, Samsung Calendar, Samsung Calculator, Samsung Clock, Samsung Health, Samsung Music

from Google i like Gmail, Google Keep, Gboard, Google Photos
any Launcher that looks like pixel for example Action launcher
I use Android Pay becuase my bank support it.

* Samsung Messages
* Firefox (sometimes Samsung Internet)
* Samsung Calendar
* Samsung Calculator
* Gmail
* Samsung Clock
* Samsung Notes is really great, but because it lacks a web version I'm now using the wonderful Zoho Notebook
* Samsung Experience/TouchWiz
* Google Assitant - it's amazing! (I occasionally use Bixby, but it has a long way to go)
* Samsung Keyboard
* Google Play Music/Spotify - I actually prefer Samsung Music which is an overall better app, but I use Google Play Music because it works better with the Google Assitant
* Google Photos and Samsung Gallery

My answers are all the same except I use BlackBerry keyboard and TouchWiz.

All Samsung App's, delete or hide as many Goggle ones as possible. I like the uniform look and function of Samsung, and they all just function very well.

AT&T messages
Blackberry for the rest.
Blackberry keyboard or default.
Sync calendar, messages, contacts through Outlook.
Firefox & Sometimes Samsung browser.

Samsung internet was the only Samsung app I used to use before, but chrome has come a long way now and mainly use Firefox focus. Either way zero interest in using Samsung apps since their design looks dated and doesn't add any value to me especially when using so many other devices. Mostly Google bundled apps all the way.

Gotta say I'm surprised the amount that uses Samsung Messages. It's too plain for me and not enough customization. I use textra for the individual contact notifications and LED.

I don't do enough texting to care, and I like that Samsung messages supports RCS and system themes.

How do you use AT&T messages in the S9? It's baked into Samsung messages. The standalone AT&T messages app isn't available for the S9.
