IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SAMSUNG MESSAGING APP

[GiantFan]

I just read this article. The Samsung's Messaging app is making a comeback in a huge and exciting way. If this story is true, the Samsung Messages app will rival the Google Messages app. I am excited to see RCS messaging functionality, the ability to respond to messages with emoji's, and the capability to see when recipients have read your texts are going to be incorporated into the app which already features a trash folder to retrieve deleted apps, and the theme integration feature. It will make the Samsung Messages app far superior to any of the messaging apps that are offered.

I'm excited, My only problem is the s25 didn't get the new samsung message app with one ui7, I see it on all the older phones but not the new phones which sucks to me

I am sure that once Samsung updates the app in the One UI 8 software update, it will become available to all Samsung users. I, myself, still have the Samsung Messages app on my S22+. But it is not working correctly, so I had to switch to Google Messages.

[MsVirgo87]

I hope so and why is it not working correctly for you?

[GiantFan]

Some of my contact's messages will not sow up in the Samsung Message app. When a recipient replies, the message will not come through on the app either. However, their messages and replies appear in Google Messages. Ever since Samsung announced that they were discontinuing the Samsung Messaging app, I began having issues using the app. I hope that glitch gets fixed, too. When Samsung brings the app back in full throttle with the new features, I hope that issue is resolved.

[MsVirgo87]

Yes I hope that is fixed for you also

@GiantFan, it was Supposed to return with one ui 7 ( samsumg tech even told me).

Android authority search their 2.2025 articles.. Its was based on YT j springer findings . at time could not get his branch / fork of SM ( Samsung messagss ) Apparently the version 15.7 is one that works . but they only tested s24/25s. Not test with olders models like ours.

I have s23u, unlocked, T-Mo sim, usa firmware, one ui 6.1. Doesnt work. My is await repair or i be able to test it ( after install one ui 7) myself for our older models .

If you get it to work. Please report back !

[Panda007]

Our phone will be ignored for one ui 8 ( feature wise , trend is bad, we already missing one ui 7 features only availble for s25/4 ) so dont hold your breath for one ui 8.

Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra has been spotted on Geekbench running One UI 8, based on Android 16, signaling rapid development for the next major OS update. With a beta program launching this month and a stable release expected by September 2025, it’s the final big update for the S22 series.

With one ui track record. In usa. We wont see it anytime soon. They probably let india, korea beta test haha

One UI 8 will be the last major update for the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. After this update, the phones will only receive security patch updates. Eventually, going to one security patch update every 3 months until the phones end of life.
