If you haven't heard yet, Samsung has officially confirmed that it's shutting down its Samsung Messages app later this year. The company has already stopped pre-installing it on newer Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S26 series, and now says it will be fully discontinued in July 2026.
Samsung notes that you'll still be able to send messages using the app until then, except for emergency services or contacts. After it's discontinued, the app will no longer be available for download from the Galaxy Store.
