From the forums.
Despite the popularity of services like WhatsApp and Telegram, good-old texting still remains as one of the most popular forms of communication for a lot of users.
There are plenty of third-party SMS apps you can grab from the Play Store, but two of the most popular first-party ones are Samsung Messages and Google's Android Messages.
Android Messages is to slowly turn it into a much more powerful messaging service using the power of RCS, and while Samsung Messages has more features to-boot, it also has a tendency to without your consent or leaving any trace of doing so.
With all that said, what app do you prefer using? Some of our AC forum users recently answered that very question, and this is what they had to say.

Android Messages is a work in progress. It does not have as many features as the Samsung messages app....yet. RCS(Chat) is also a work in progress on AM so it hasn't been fully implemented. Hopefully, they will add scheduling and customization to AM

RCS is available on the Samsung Messages app if you have the latest update. In fact, the latest slew of bugs that you will reported on the latest Samsung Messages app is about the RCS update which T Mobile pushed to it. So you actually lose stuff going to Android Messages, like the customizations, but you also lose the bug so that's good.

Personally prefer Android messages anyway much cleaner look and simpler. But I'm biased since I like Google apps more than Samsung apps since I have multiple Android phones and like to use same apps in all of them. It's interesting how this RCS implementation is going on with different carriers. Looks like a mess and fragmented.
