      As a Samsung user, I didn’t realize it was a special app. Why does sms text messaging need to go through Google? What are my choices here?

      By discontinuing, will the app still exist or uninstalled? At the moment I can’t uninstall it.

      Which sucks, because incompetent idiots at Google don’t understand that phones have way more than a single SIM for decades. On Google messages I can’t tell if someome is messaging me to my work or personal number, there’s no distinction.

      People have been telling me for years why it’s so hard to use Signal, but I keep finding people preferring to share all of their conversations with corporations for some reason.

      This is one of the Android things I just don’t get. Google have apps for everything people expect a phone to do. They must come installed because Google won’t let you use their OS in their phones otherwise. One of the things that keep people on Android is that people is already accustomed to Google’s app ecosystem. They are using it for decades since they got some random HTC and/or all/most their friends and family are also in there. Anyway, phone vendors create, maintain and aggressively promote their own apps hoping users will ditch Google to be rewarded with the privilege of having to also use Google’s and their info being harvested both by Google and their phone vendor.
