Samsung just quietly retired its Google Messages rival, and not everyone will be happy about it

Samsung has launched the Galaxy S25 series, making Google Messages the default messaging application and retiring the Samsung Messages app. Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra users will only have access to Google Messages, unlike previous models that allowed the option to use Samsung Messages. Existing Samsung Messages users can still use the app if it was installed prior to its removal from stores, but it is no longer available for download, raising concerns about future support and security. A Samsung spokesperson confirmed the decision to transition to Google Messages, citing improved Rich Communication Services (RCS) functionality. The response from users has been mixed, with some expressing dissatisfaction about the enforced switch. This change marks a trend towards standardization in the Android messaging ecosystem.

Samsung Warning—Do Not Install These Apps On Your Galaxy S24 Or S23

Samsung is experiencing delays with the Android 15 update for Galaxy S24 and S23 users, who are eager for new features in AI, security, and privacy. A recent leak from Samsung’s Spanish website about the update was quickly retracted. Current leaks indicate that a beta version may be available this month for select models and regions, while a stable release is projected for early 2025 alongside the S25 Series launch. Users are downloading leaked system apps, which pose risks to device safety and personal data, leading Samsung to tighten restrictions on sideloading. Google is also removing thousands of apps from the Play Store for security reasons. Android 15 will include live threat detection powered by on-device AI, but until the update is available, risks remain high. Users are advised to avoid unofficial downloads while awaiting the official updates. Samsung is reportedly making progress on the update, with the build number changing from ZXKV to ZXKY, and more details are expected soon. The stable release will follow the Galaxy S25 series launch and will include One UI 7 for other devices like the Galaxy S23, Galaxy A55, and Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Google Keep likely to get advanced handwriting mode and other new features

Google Keep is enhancing its functionality, particularly for handwritten notes, in the latest version 5.24.422.02.90. The app will introduce a new handwritten notes capability for Android devices with stylus support, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy S24 Ultra, as well as for users who draw with their fingers. The new handwritten notes will be visually distinct from existing drawing notes, with titles positioned differently. Users will be able to share handwritten notes in PDF format instead of just image files. A "Text to sketch" feature may also be included in future updates. These enhancements will be available on both mobile and web clients, although web notes will currently be uneditable and viewable only as PDFs. Additionally, users will soon be able to customize handwriting backgrounds with color, and notes with images will allow for resizing, cropping, and repositioning. Other upcoming features include a window resize option and the ability to manage multiple accounts in split mode on foldable devices.

The timeline for this update is uncertain, and it is unclear if it will be included in Android 15. Currently, the feature is not activated, and there is no official announcement regarding its public availability. Additionally, Android 15 QPR1 Beta 2 is rumored to introduce features like quick keyword switching and lock screen widgets, which are still in testing.

Epic is suing Samsung and Google for One UI’s Auto Blocker shenanigans

Epic Games has filed a lawsuit against Samsung and Google over the Auto Blocker feature in Samsung's One UI 6.1.1, which restricts app sideloading to only the Google Play Store and Samsung Galaxy Store. The lawsuit claims that the feature was designed in collaboration with Google to limit competition in app distribution. The Auto Blocker, now a default setting, complicates the sideloading process, reportedly requiring up to 21 steps, while disabling it takes only four to seven steps but lacks clear user guidance. Epic argues that the Auto Blocker’s safety claims are misleading and does not conduct genuine security assessments. Epic's CEO, Tim Sweeney, previously proposed disabling the Auto Blocker by default or implementing a transparent whitelisting process but did not reach an agreement with Samsung before pursuing legal action. The outcome of the lawsuit is uncertain, and an appeal is likely.

Streaming Android apps from your phone to your Windows 11 PC just got easier (if you’re lucky enough to have the right phone)

Recent updates to Samsung's One UI, specifically version 6.1.1, have improved the streaming experience from Samsung smartphones to PCs. Users no longer need to press a button each time they want to stream an app through Microsoft's Phone Link, which previously required a button press due to security changes in Android 14. The update allows for an "Always allow" setting for screen mirroring, eliminating repeated confirmations. Currently, One UI 6.1.1 is available only on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, but it is expected to be rolled out to older Galaxy devices like the S22, S23, S24, and earlier Fold models.
