Samsung Messages Ends in July. Here's the Right Way to Move Everything Over

If Samsung Messages is still your default texting app, July is going to require some action on your part. The app is being deactivated for US users, and the texts, RCS conversations and message history sitting in it don't automatically transfer anywhere. It's all moving to Google Messages, and the migration is genuinely simple, but simple doesn't mean automatic. The steps that preserve your text history are ones you have to take yourself, before the deadline, and the longer you wait the more likely it is that something gets left behind.

On a page with information about the switch, Samsung points to instructions on how to swap over to Google's Messages app, including for phones that are still on Android 12 and Android 13. Samsung has historically included its own Messages app on Galaxy phones, but began transitioning toward Google Messages as early as 2021.
