Samsung is shutting down its texting app for U.S. customers

Samsung is saying goodbye to its namesake texting app, at least for United States customers.

According to an end of service announcement published on the tech giant’s U.S. support website, Samsung Messages will be discontinued in July. Impacted owners of Samsung smartphones and other gadgets are being asked to switch to Google Messages in the meantime, “to maintain a consistent messaging experience on Android.”

All Samsung Galaxy phones run on Google’s Android operating system.
