Completely agree! I also enjoy the fact that I can use/see the native Samsung emojis versus the Google messages one. Yes, I like the animations and reactions in Google messages, but it still doesn't beat Samsung messages to me.

Talking about this makes me want to switch back, but every one i know switched to Google and the rcs wont sync or show between them, only if the other person has the same app you are using.

It's just reluctance to change.

It doesn't matter if it's better. To some users, if anything is even slightly different from what they're used to, it's automatically "worse."

They don't want to use "third party" apps, not even realizing that Google is a first party app, being native to Android.

Mostly the emojis. I use emojis all the time and HATE google emojis, samsung emojis look so much better and there's no option to view samsungs in google messages
