So it turns out this didnt come out natively with oneui 4 on my s20 fe. However, when i sideloaded it, it did seem to function a lot better than on oneui 3.1. It feels native despite sideloading and so far theres 0 difference from the real thing.
Unfortunately, it appears that Google has stopped updating the Samsung Dynamic version. I've been doing this since April and the last Samsung Dynamic version was on November 3rd and there have been sevaral updates since then. Just none for Samsung Dynamic. Such a bummer. I really prefer the Samsung Dynamic version.
They are supporting the Samsung version again. They finally updated on Thanksgiving and have had 2 subsequent updates since then. The last one being yesterday. You can find it on APKMirror
After my number gets verified and i got to advanced settings i dont get any toggle for text on galaxy devices. not sure where to go from there. any help is much appreciated.
Great video. RCS works for my Note 20 Ultra! This Google Messages sends texts kind of slow but I guess with updates it will improve eventually. I still prefer Samsung Messenger app.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M naw bro that's not accurately. Some samsung phones have rcs but some don't it's weird. I have had at least 2 samsung phones every yr since the 8 plus. And I've notice thay some can send clear but some cannot throughout the yrs it's weird af
This guy was crackin' me up, I love it! 😄Hilarious bro! Perfect instruction. -Short, clear demo with funny swirled in. I appreciate a great sense of humor. Not too much, not too little, it was juuuuust right!✨🤔 😉👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼
Ok so I did every step it's connected and working but I still can't click down to send emojis on to messages I received and I also can't send clear videos
I have noticed that as well. It happens for some versions and then comes back. It's a beta, so this stuff is normal. 😅 (Let's just hope Samsung doesn't decide to remove it completely)
@@BredzPro naw I finally got it to work. My problem was I literally had every samsung series from the 4 up. Even sometimes multiple phones from same yr. I realized that from the 8 up I would beable to send clear videos on some phones but not others. Example the 8 plus is unclear note 8 clear note 9 clear note 10 unclear note 10 plus clear etc. Anyway what I realize is some of these samsung phones maybe already have rcs or something similiar. So if ur messaging someone with a note 9 u can send clear videos and do reactions. U can also send clear videos and reaction if they have any android that isn't samsung. But if u wanna send reactions to the samsungs that I'm guessing don't have rcs already then u both would need to have Google messaging. I hope this was helpful
@BredzPro unfortunately I have the galaxy watch active 2 so it does not have the plays store that let's me download the goggle messages and also when I tied to set it up there was mo section that said Text for Galaxy
I always recommend Samsung because it has a lot of features. The only problem in your case is that the Galaxy Note9 won't get the new Android 11 and 12. The iPhone 8 Plus will be updated for some more years = longer life. If you care about the features Samsung has (up until Android 10) then I'd go with Note9. If you want to keep the phone for a long time, then iPhone 8. I hope I helped a bit in your decision! m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9163&idPhone2=8131#diff-*,*
The Google Messages you have installed is newer than the one in APKMirror. Wait for a samsung_dynamic variant for your version is released. Or just uninstall Google Messages and try again.
Why do this and not just use the normal Google messages app not the apk version? I know it looks like the Samsung version but do the rcs features not work?
@@BredzPro just curious, does Bixby recognize the new messages app as the default app for you? Meaning, when you ask Bixby to text someone, does it send it through this app or does it ask you to set the samsung messages native app as the default app?
I just noticed that it asks to return to Samsung Messages every time. I just noticed that the issue is that there is no Google Messages capsule in Bixby settings.
@@BredzPro Falimenderit for confirming.....I installed the new APK on my galaxy tab S6 and it works fine, same with Watch 4 classic, just not on my fold 3....maybe with future updates :)
So I can't get mine to enable. It's stuck on 'Trying to Verify' and no matter how many times I submit my number, it never gets past this. I had it working at one point, then out of the blue it lost connection, and has been like this ever since. Going on 3 months now where I'm stuck 'trying to verify'. Any ideas to get this working again?
I am assuming you have tried clearing data or ununstalling the app, rebooting the phone? Try installing Carrier Services from the Play Store. Also try activating it while being connected to data, not WiFi. And lastly, remove and re-insert your SIM. It has worked for me sometimes.
Thats pretty good stuff, but all it really did was make it hav green bubbles instead of blue, but it doesnt customize with themes. At least it doesnt with mine. Does rcs have to be uncustomizable?
It's still a work in progress. This app will be replacing Samsung Messages in the future, so when that happens then it'll be integrated with the system themes.
RCS has nothing to do with customization. You're comparing two completely different things. Google didn't design Google Messages to have custom themes so far.
@@BredzPro it does, I tried it And it works. However, when you ask Bixby to send a text, it keeps replying wanting to set the old Samsung messages stock native app as the default app in order to complete the request. Even with the option of allowing Bixby to send messages as outlined in the video. Yet on the new Galaxy Watch 4, Bixby will send message with a new message app
It’s possible to install, last update of Samsung message (apk ), using apkmirror in a S9 with android 10, because in the page, it says that is compatible
So the lastest Samsung version was from Nov 25, if you delete your current messages app does it get rid of all the text messages too? Also I have the option currently for the iphone reactions enabled but isn't working, I'm assuming that the Nov25 version won't have that or would it?
so i was able to locate & install it. everything seems fine...until when i try to do a like on a text, it doesn't give me that option. it only gave me a bar at the top to copy, delete, star
You still get the normal Google one. However, when I get an update in the Play Store, I know I should check on APKMirror for the Samsung one. I use it as a kind of reminder to update.
Google messages sucks. The ui is terrible and the emojis are ugly Wow, it's even worse than I thought. The search function won't find any messages older than a few days old. When it does manage to find something, the app bugs out. Some of my conversations won't even load. Yea, I'd rather use samsung messages with rcs than use this trash with it. Holy shit. What's even worse, my s10+ had rcs in samsung messages. Then I get an s20 ultra and it doesn't. I think the way to fix it would be if I could downgrade samsung messages to the version on my s10+, but when i try, it just says invalid package.
Close (or force close) it a couple of times and the UI should change. Also, Play Store will sometimes update the app and return it to the normal version, so make sure it didn't (App info and check if version is "Samsung_dynamic")!
Thanks it worked for me !
Thank you! This is why I loooooove android, there's always a way
Maybe Samsung will make a One UI skin for the Google Messages Wear OS to match on the Galaxy watch
I'm from the future. It still works

If there's no Samsung variant then you can either install an older version which has it, or wait for it to be uploaded.
Great tutorial, but i encountered an issue, my architecture is v7a, but the apk is v8a, any solution?

Why do this and not just use the normal Google messages app not the apk version? I know it looks like the Samsung version but do the rcs features not work?
The RCS feature work the same as the one in the original Google Messages.
It's a skinned version of Google Messages in a nutshell.
