Samsung is finally doing away with Samsung Messages in a meaningful way, and I hope it’s a sign of what’s to come for the duplicate apps in One UI.

I am on Google Messages since Samsung Messages doesn't support chat functions on unlocked phones (just carrier). One thing I don't like about the Google RCS implementation is that it only shows you the delivered / read status of your latest text in a thread. Not any of the previous texts, which Samsung used to do. I text a lot with my wife but she lets them build up rather than reading them immediately, so I have no way of knowing if she read only the latest text or all the texts since the last text know she read. Also, I miss the categories feature.

After using a Flip 3, Flip 4, and Flip 5, I couldn't stand it anymore. I went back to a Pixel, all those duplicate apps drove me crazy.
