Samsung fans, it’s almost time to pour one out for one of the company’s oldest Android apps. On April 4, Samsung announced that its longstanding Samsung Messages texting app will finally shut down for good this July. As has been the case with more recent Samsung phones, remaining Samsung Messages users will be migrated over to Google Messages for their new default texting app.

I’m not sure what hardware makers are thinking by trying to SHERLOCK an existing Google product. But it can’t be needed or good for the bottom line.
