Already in the case of the Galaxy S21 series developed by Samsung, a change could be noticed regarding the default application on the phone for sending SMS and MMS. However, it only applied to the European market, as the phones released in Europe as the default application for sending this type of messages used the Google Messages application. In the United States, for example, Samsung has rebranded its proprietary messaging application, so that it looked more like a Google's application, but by default, messages were sent by the Samsung's application. With the Galaxy S22 series, this situation changes.
With the launch of a new series of smartphones from Samsung, Google Messages has also been set as the default application used for messaging in units dedicated for the US market. If necessary, if any of the users would like to continue using the Samsung's application, it is in the phone's memory and he or she can use it without any obstacles. Of course, it is also possible to download any other application from the Play Store, while the mere fact of using the application from Google as the default in Samsung's phones only indicates the strengthening of Google's position in relation to Android phone manufacturers. Currently, the Messages application developed by Google is the default SMS and MMS application on most of phones using Android system.
