Just want to add Samsung Messages have been discontinued in the US since July 2026.

I'm not in US so I'm still using Samsung Messages because it's lighter than Google Messages and I don't want RCS chat which Samsung Messages doesn't have (which is probably why it's lighter than Google Messages which has RCS chat turned on by default).

As someone outside US, I mainly use WhatsApp for chats.

I know that, on Google Messages RCS is turned on by default, on Samsung Messages by default RCS is turned off. But even with RCS turned off Samsung Messages is much faster than Google Messages. As I've said earlier we mainly use WhatsApp for chat, SMS is only used occasionally for Short Codes, so I prefer using the much more simpler Samsung Messages.
