What are you using for text app on the Note 20?

[evan_2k]

Google Messages along with G board. Tried Samsung's messages, just wasn't doing it for me.

I liked Google Messages but edge lighting doesn't work with it so I stick with the stock Samsung messaging app.

 

[bkeaver]

I go back and forth between Google messages and Samsung's

I go back and forth between Google messages and Samsung's

Those are my go-to now, as well. I used to be a huge fan of Textra but now I like Samsung's and Google's versions of SMS.

Been using a love Texts but was forced to use the Samsung app because I got a Galaxy Watch. Anyone know if I could use Textra and the watch??

I use Messages because I loved it on my Pixel 4 XL but I just downloaded Textra, I'm going to try it out.

I'm able to get my texts using Textra through my s3 frontier watch. You just have to go into the gear app and turn on notifications for your texting app .

I have used both Textra and Google messages with my Samsung Gear S3 successfully.

I've used (and love) Textra in the past but now using Google Messages w/GBoard with the S20+. I think I'll give the stock at try with the N20 Ultra reading this thread.

Did the watch keep promoting you to use the stock app?

This may not be related but I use the Google Keyboard and I'm wondering if the auto dark mode has been optimized for the Note 20 Ultra? I had the Note 10+ and the Google Keyboard would automatically switch to dark mode. Does anybody know?

 

[James Rogers2]

Google message. If RCS ever comes to at&t Samsung messages I'll switch.

 

[Horace jones]

Stock messaging with Swiftkey keyboard.

 

[msm0511]

Been sticking with Samsung's app thus far, but Signal is my favorite.

 

[silverfang77]

Google Messages because I want to be ready when the people I text with get RCS on their phones.

 

[sasha]

I use Verizon Message+ with Swiftkey keyboard

RCS on Note 20 series?

Update the uninformed please! Where is the Note 20 series with regards to RCS texting? Does it have it from the get go? I remember reading up on RCS about a year ago, and it was confusing. It sounded like carriers needed to support it, phones needed to support it, it might be useless if both parties weren't setup to use it, etc.
Has anything improved toward getting RCS deployed to the masses?

Nope. Never had any prompt of that kind at all.

Been using Textra. I've wanted to go back to the stock app because it's gotten better over time but there's one feature that keeps me using Textra that the stock app doesn't have. If Samsung were to ever make it to where you can assign individual people certain notification icons, I'd start using the stock app for sure.

You're in luck. On my Note 20 Ultra you can assign individual ringtones in the stock samsung messages.

Not individual ringtones. Individual notification icons.
