Recently I switched over from Google messages to Samsung messages, and I have to say I prefer Samsung messages. 

Although Google messages offer emoji reactions, and the edit text feature it doesn't allow full message customization that I prefer; and the ability to categorize messages, change group text images, seeing the native emoji style, etc. 

Thankfully my carrier supports RCS so image/video quality is amazing, I still get read/delivered receipts and typing indicators. I think Samsung should invest more into their native app and push it forward completely! 

Yes, Google messages offer animations for emojis, & special holidays but I just prefer a Samsung UI over Google's. If I wanted to utilize Google messages, I would've purchased a Google pixel (just my opinion). 

Samsung please invest and, add more features to the Samsung messages app - you'll get so much positive feedback from customers!

It's been said here now for well over a year that Samsung Messenger is being phased out and on new Samsung phones, Google Messenger comes set as the default messaging app. Don't expect that policy to change.
