Im on a Galaxy S10+ and i was one of the first people to report this bug last year. It is now January 31st, 2020 and there is still no solution, no update to fix this, and no response from Samsung.
After reading the comments, this seems to be affecting all Samsung phones from the S9 through to the latest Galaxy S10 and latest Note10 phones.
If anyone here has a Galaxy Fold or 5G Galaxy, or one of the less expensive A-Series phones, please reply here and let us know if you also have this bug. All you have to do is send or receive a text message that contains words or numbers pertaining to time. For instance "today, tomorrow, 7am, 3:00, Tuesday, etc..." and the Samsung text app auto converts those words into useless hyperlinks to your calendar.
The only solution I have found so far to avoid this terrible bug is to use Google or WhatsApp or another text messaging app and set it as your default for all text messaging. Yes, I know this is not a solution at all, it is just a way to make text messaging usable on these awesome phones.
And after reading through all of these posts on this forum, there is not even one person defending this bug or telling us that it is a wanted or useful feature. One hundred percent of the people here on this forum agree that this is actually a bug, an unwanted glitch and all of us agree that it needs to be fixed.
So if any Samsung employees are reading this, please report this bug to the engineers and get this fixed. I can only assume that it is still a problem and is shipping with even the latest Samsung phones.
This is not a solution. Users overwhelmingly want a way to disable this new and unnecessary feature, and we still have no way to disable it, so this should not be marked as solved
Why does this say solved?! It is now nearly Feb 2020 with no end in sight to terrible terrible, dare I even call it, feature. Can you please respond with an actual solution or give us some home it is being "worked on"?
Is there a way to unmark this as a "solution"? This "tech" completely ignored the actual problem and tried to explain it away as a solution. This guy clearly just closed the topic as resolved to avoid which having to address it again, but I suspect that this also means nobody else who might be able to give us guidance will ever read the original problem.
Tech: if you are reading this, please stop screwing up an otherwise good resource with your garbage responses. Let someone else who is actually helpful handle this stuff.
I am having an even worse problem that nobody else seems to have. When i write an SMS and add something like "can we meet tomorrow at 9.am?" The 9.am bit turns into a hyperlink and that link goes to various chinese malicious websites. It doesn't matter whether I use the samsung messaging app or googles. I have tried to scan my phone with 3 different anti virus apps and all come up clear. What is going on?
The best solution I have found was to switch to the Google messenger app. If you prefer not to use that there are a lot of other options on the market to choose from.
