I'm kind of upset because as I was trying to connect my new tab, S10+ to receive and send messages and phone calls from my phone number. I was able to find it showing up so can't do that. Then further investigating, I realized I cannot download Samsung messages on my new tablet, only Google messages. Which I know that Samsung has offered Google messages as a default for a while now. But yeah, they completely remove the option to use Samsung messages with their devices. Now i've heavenly refrained from using google messages for a long time now and I still don't want heavenly refrained from using Google messages for a long time now and I still don't want to. And I still want to use the Samsung Messages app. I have always used used to. I'm familiar with I do not want to use google messages period i don't pay a premium price for Samsung's products so I can use Google's apps if I want to Google's apps. I buy a pixel, you know, it's one thing to give us a choice. And let us use both if we want or one or the other, but to completely remove your own apps from your OS and stop us from using them. It's just, yeah, this is suicide for your company. We want Samsung's apps on our Samsung devices. We don't want Google's apps again. We buy pixels if that's what we wanted

Why yes I am aware, same as windows is Microsoft, yet Samsung still has its own ui and proprietary software that runs on top of these Operating systems,

What is used for searching or the account(s) tied to that device, such as calendar, map, photo storage etc?
