Ill up you one... Star citizen

$750 / $15 = 50 months or 4.16years.

You're making an assumption. For example, none of your replies to my comment addressed what I said only what you presumed I meant. I made clear why I'm not using the app and it's not from a lack understanding or lack of research. Simply put the app does not suit me for the reasons given. I found a suitable alternative that suits my needs and provides e2ee. Your being overly zealous about a personal distaste for googles services. As mentioned, I originally chose Samsung to be as least involved in google as I need to be. I have zero interest in reversing this. Besides if I require a more secure form of messaging, I have other options that are better suited for it other than what google can provide. Since I've made my choice, I'm not really interested in a continued debate on the subject. I was originally only interested in sharing my distaste for the end of a good app in favor of a lesser quality one.

errr no.

I've already tried out the app, even though you can skip the log-in the app is still monitored through the play store and sends reminders that I'm not logged in. I've been through the app and it has less than half the features Samsung msgs has. Also, the UI as mentioned looks and feels cheap in comparison. In short it's not for me. (google=/= privacy) I've already pretty much moved over to SMS Organizer they also offer the end2end and local storage only for messages.

OP the technician owes you a laptop. That or he fixes it.
