Samsung Messages is preferred for the themes and keyboard colors

Bring it back! I like the variety of choosing different themes with varied keyboard colors. The RCS chat feels generic, like Apple.

You can download it from the Galaxy Store. Not all carriers support RCS.
I would prefer functionality over pretty any day of the WEEK!

Let me check. To each his own.

It is back. Unfortunately it's not preloaded on the S25, so you'll have to download it from the Galaxy Store.

FWIW I prefer Samsung Messages. I find it better organized and easier to use than Google's app. The theming is a nice plus, but I don't use it myself.

It's not the nice SM. It's an older version 15 and not 16. It doesn't have the color and being able to pin favorite contacts
