Sorry, aber gerade ist bei uns wirklich gar nix zu holen. Unser Server ist im Wartungsmodus – und unser kleiner Bot versucht gerade, mit letzter Energie die Fehlermeldungen zu sortieren.
Ob’s ein Daten-Leck, ein Stromausfall im Cluster oder einfach nur ein mies gelauntes Bit war – wir wissen es noch nicht. Was wir aber wissen:
Das Daten-Drama eskalierte zu einer Server-Schmelze. Aber keine Sorge: Wir sind dran.
Was jetzt?
Bei unseren Kolleg:innen von inside digital läuft bestimmt alles rund – schau doch mal vorbei!
Oder du vertreibst dir die Zeit mit einem Besuch auf unseren Social-Media-Kanälen – zum Beispiel Instagram, YouTube oder TikTok. Da gibt’s immerhin keine Serverprobleme – versprochen.
Danke für deine Geduld. Unser Bot rebootet schon mit Hochdruck. 🔧
NewsIt's All About RCS: Samsung Begins to Axe Its Messaging App
Over the years, Google Messages has become more popular compared to other Android messaging apps. Samsung has even begun to ditch its Messages app from the Galaxy S24 and more recently, from the Galaxy Z Fold 6 (review) and Galaxy Z Flip 6 in favor of Google Messages. Today, the South Koreans detailed the reason for this move.
Don’t miss this: How to use and master the new Quick Share feature on Samsung
In a message to Android Authority, the company explained it is working with Google to make Google Messages the default messaging app across more Android devices. The adoption of Google Messages on Samsung’s Galaxy phones would also prove helpful in pushing the initiative forward given the massive number of Galaxy devices in use.
Why Samsung is opting for Google Messages: RCS and AI
It also highlighted the decision is primarily attributed to the integration of RCS (Rich Communication Services) with Google Messages, which makes it far superior compared to other Android messaging apps. For instance, Google recently added improvements to Messages such as sending larger images and compressing them more efficiently and the undo feature.
While Samsung Messages on Galaxy smartphones also integrates RCS, the availability and features of the service depend on your mobile carrier or network.
Aside from RCS, Google continues to add functionalities that are exclusive to its messaging app. One example is the introduction of the Magic Compose feature that uses generative AI to write messages on the app. Even so, Google’s Gemini chatbot only works with Google Messages.
Overall, having the same messaging app on Android devices makes the experience coherent for the entire ecosystem regardless of the device model. This also makes sense even for non-Android devices as Apple is set to adopt RCS on iPhones with the upcoming iOS 18 update.
Samsung Messages is not dead yet
Right now, the phasing out of Samsung Messages is limited to very few countries like the USA and to the new wave of Galaxy handsets that will be released, including the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Earlier this year, some Samsung users noticed the proprietary Messages wasn’t installed on their Galaxy S24 units. With the company’s confirmation, the switch will likely arrive in more markets and devices soon.
For the affected devices, Samsung mentioned users can still download the Samsung Messages app from the Play Store or Galaxy Store, although it noted that not all features they expect to see will be available.
