I'm really wondering how wonderful sites like ours stay in business.

My Samsung Galaxy 20 is forcing users like me to switch away from "Samsung Messages." The app is being retired.

Samsung Messages will be discontinued in July 2026, when it will no longer function for sending or receiving texts on most Samsung devices. Samsung is replacing its proprietary app with Google Messages as the default on Galaxy devices, particularly on models from the Galaxy S26 onwards.
In theory, all you have to do is click the SWITCH button and Boom - it makes the conversion and of course, brings all your old messages forward.

My conversion didn't go as planned.... BUT, Google AI Mode fixed me up. In short - it gave me three things to try and asked me if they worked. When I said NO, it gave me more things to try.

What are your thoughts on AI?
