Why is my messages app still the old kind?

[Android Central Question]

After the Pie update, my messages updated and was the bubble look and I loved it, but it went away. How do I get it back? It's currently still the old version but everything else is updated. I tried restarting my phone and everything.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone do you have? Are you talking about the Android Messages app, or some other messaging app?

If Android Messages is what you're referring to, then this was apparently a widespread change that affected everyone.
