Samsung Messages Ends in July 2026

Samsung Messages stops working for US users in July 2026 with no grace period, and all text history is lost if not migrated. Google Messages has been Samsung's preferred texting app since 2024 and will become the only option by July. Users must switch to Google Messages before July to preserve years of conversation data. Samsung provides step-by-step instructions on its website for transferring messages, including for Android 12 and 13 devices. This marks the end of Samsung's native messaging app on Galaxy phones, which has been phased out since 2024.
