Samsung messages Vs Google messages - Which one is Better?

[@kev_tho]

I prefer Samsung Messages over Google Messages for one reason. I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but with Samsung Messages you can also create categories and organize your messages by those categories. I have a family category and work category and others. So depending on what category someone is in, I can just select that category to get to their messages quicker than scrolling down until I find that person's text thread. However, I do wish Samsung Messages has the reaction feature.

[@azaharis]

Yes to both of your points. I'm pulled both ways between needing the customization and categories of Samsung but the cool responses on Google. Conflicted.

[@Momentous.Living]

Categories/ groups is very important for me. I use Google msg but this is one feature I very much miss

[@jonettebrazier7217]

I'm not understand why they would they take that away. I need it! One of the best features.

[@sambell3103]

Google messages has better synchronization across ALL devices which includes phones, watches, tablets and PCs. Samsung messages is inconsistent with appearing on different devices.

[@RedJewel7]

All this time I had no idea about the categories in Samsung Messages and I've had Galaxies for years! Thank you! 😂

[@embracemycurls7148]

I used samsung messages for years. Once I upgraded to the S24 i switched to Google messages and i love it. The reactions feature sealed the deal for me.

[@fayettenampeach]

Same here! If Samsung messages would get the reactions feature, I'd go back in a heartbeat.

[@bakarimontage8571]

Do you feel weird?They're texting people with iphones

[@Donohuebro2]

I am never using Samsung messages again, the fact that I no longer get that bs "liked with the entire message" anymore is the dealbreaker, google messages is so much better

What made you switch specifically after getting the S24 Ultra? I have the same person myself

Idk why on samsung that they did their own skin on google messages as well as organizing messages in different categories i miss that in samsung messages

[@Jihadbearzwithgunz]

This and you can only set limited colors on Google messages for people using rcs messaging ..

[@danamanor6640]

thats why i use samsung, i do not want to change unless they add it to google

[@chelsearowland219]

You forgot a Fantastic feature on Samsung Messages that Every Galaxy user NEEDS to know. If you continue to hold down a message and bypass the menu, you can move the message and put it in the text box or you can move it to the the right or left side of the screen and it will open the message in Pop-Up or Split Screen View and provide app options depending on the message

[@js6909]

Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic tip about the Samsung Messages app! I really appreciate you taking the time to point out this super useful feature. Can't wait to try it out. Galaxy users are going to find this so helpful!

[@RexAmahBAji]

I just went to it on my phone chat settings and I have no option for chat features 😢 I had to be in the region that was not available for rcs

[@IDNHANTU2day]

I use Google Messages because I can archive. Archiving allows for a clean screen with only the current conversations visible. It also prevents sending messages to the wrong person since the "wrong person" is not visible.

[@Chef316]

Samsung Messages has a trash bin you can use in the same way. Messages are only then permanently deleted if you so choose

[@emirx1126]

I wish they didn't get rid of the categories feature where it shows the saved contacts in one section and the spams, otps on another section.

[@johnszatkowski6898]

BOTH apps allow to "pin" conversations but Samsung allows categories/groups that Google does not. I ALSO like the ability to have a different background image/color for each conversation that Google does not.! I will stick with Samsung until they completely kill the app!

[@chelsearowland219]

I LOVE Samsung Messages so much, especially when I am using a theme. Galaxy Themes transforms messaging for me. For all the people who like Google Messages, that's Great for them, it's just not for me. To me, I think it's important to have options, and I want the option to choose Samsung Messages without losing chat features. My carrier won't provide RCS on Samsung Messages which is why I want Samsung to provide an instant messaging service in Samsung Messages, so Galaxy users can chat with other Galaxy users regardless of carriers. I hope Samsung will invest in Samsung Messages again for Galaxy users like me who prefer it. I really need Samsung to provide an instant messaging service in Samsung Messages like Apple provides iMessage in Apple Messages.

[@iamdanie_.]

I just read another comment saying samsunf is currently transitioning over to Google messages. Some phones started not coming with it or an update deleted Samsung and replaced it with Google 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@KoalaBeer.]

Google has themes on rcs

[@chelsearowland219]

@KoalaBeer. Those themes are so simple compared to Galaxy Themes. In Galaxy Themes search for the companies Cogul Planet, Echo Visual, and Pixome Design, and look at all those themes and what Samsung Messages looks like. Even download the trial to see for yourself firsthand. The attention to detail in the theme the designers put in is astonishing. Try it and tell me what you think

Another feature some do not know about is the search feature. If you click on a text and then click on the 3 dots in the top right. You can do a search for a specific word, like "money". I use this when my sons mother says one thing and changes it or claims she has never said something in the past lol. I have her text history as far back as 2016.

If Samsung Message adopted the follow features it would be the best messaging app: the Reactions when you press and hold; the Suggested Reply; and the ability to change the name of the group when in a group text. All three of these are available in Google Message and are the reasons why I keep going back to Google Message.

[@jacehiggs3637]

I love my Samsung messages, but keep getting notified to "UPGRADE" to Google messages. Can you please say what features if any you miss from Samsung messages, and what other features you may love from Google messages? It may help me in my decision to "upgrade" or not. Thanks

[@jacehiggs3637]

Hopefully you reply as I just saw you'd commented originally 2 months ago. There are definitely some features I don't want to lose from my Samsung messages. Having the same number 18 years always been a Samsung phone, and same carrier provider; There are conversations and texts that I just CANNOT lose from people who have since passed on.

I like Samsung because its way customizable than Google. I like Google because you can react to a messages with an emoji like iphones and on top of that the emojis come to life when you send it lil small detail like that is what i enjoy. Also Google's spam protection is another plus Ive been using Google as of late but if Samsung can get the emoji reaction ill definitely switch back. Also the AI feature implemented into Google messages is another win for Google

[@souvignier]

Thank you AppX for making a true side by side comparison in your video. All other videos I checked are very messy in comparing. Thumbs up to you! Quite a neglected feature is making use of dual SIM capability of the phone. While both messaging apps show room for improvement regarding this feature, Samsung Messages is the only one to conveniently use the name of the respective SIM in a small popup and where you can easily switch between the SIM. All of this is not possible in Google and hence a deal-breaker. Also, I do not like Google's comic style menu screens.

Whats the point in Google Messages when Google in the near future will remove it like they do with everything they have. They're now removing timeline history from maps and VPN from Google One. Luckily i still have the option of Samsung secure wifi.

[@novadon4729]

Man I was really upset about that timeline removal. Just pisses me off

Will it use your sim mobile data while you are using RCS webview sir in the PC that is connected on home wifi?

[@ThePhoneFuel]

It uses internet connected on the PC. Like how we use what's app web

Strange on my S24 Ultra in Samsung messages settings I am not seeing chat features anywhere why is that? Matter of fact on my google messages I am not seeing change color or when I press and hold a message I cannot react to anything, Kind of weird if you ask me.

[@hilmarkoerner2603]

same here edit: odd, when I do not have it as default the chat features show up.

[@novadon4729]

As for the "chat features" on Samsung messages, it depends on your carrier. Some carriers have it, while others don't. So that might be the reason you are not getting it. As for the color changes on Google messages, you have to be chatting with someone who also has RCS enabled for this option to be available to you. For instance, If you are chatting with a Non-RCS user, messages will detect it as a regular Text messages, so the color option won't be available. As for the "Hold to react" I cant help you with that, because it's supposed to function for you even while chatting with Non-RCS users.

[@HotGates]

@@novadon4729 Thanks but I think Samsung is getting rid of messages because I used to have those features and now I don't, As far as Google messages hold to react it's only between android phones and when I get a message from friends with iPhone it won't work.

After years, i switched to the google messages and its waaay better! Plus my wife has a pixel phone so it vibes better.

Google Messages: Extra functionality, Chat on the Web (great for txting @work) Reactions, Naming groups, Archiving messages, deletes otp, etc. Samsung Messages: I can make it look pretty! 👍🏾

[@ZoomkingS23]

Nice!

Samsung cloud vs google drive ?

Thanks for the suggestion.. Will check if I can do it

Thank you for such a detailed vidual and verbale video.

What's the apk version number of Samsung Messages that you're using that supports RCS? I'd like to download it. Thanks

[@ThePhoneFuel]

Mine is 15.1.11.1. The RCS may depend on carrier network support , so do check.

[@AlphaBravo860]

I use Google Messaging. A lot of people don't even know there is a difference because they look the same

[@kingznkrookz1]

I've tried both . Samsung messages for me

[@ThePhoneFuel]

Cool 👍

[@DIYRAYMOND]

I downloaded the Google messages, but a BIG FEATURE THAT'S MISSING is Creating chat categories. Samsung Messages lets me set categories and theyre at the top. If Google let me do that then i would have gave them a chance. But since Google doesn't offer that i deleted it.

[@roshansamrobert]

Samsung all the way
