It depends.

Some versions of the Fold5 such as the international model, will have the Samsung Messages app which is the Google Messages app in all but name. Other devices will be sporting the Google Messages app and these tend to be some of the North American devices.

Here are the 2 Messages apps.. Google on top, Samsung underneath.



Samsung Messages came standard on my international Fold5 and I downloaded the Google app.

That's correct. Google have recently brought in RCS by default after all these years of having to manually enable it. See...

Google’s Messages app will now use RCS by default and encrypt group chats​
