Samsung is saying goodbye its namesake texting app.

三星告别同名短信应用。



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."

根据这家科技巨头在其美国支持网站上发布的一份服务终止公告， 三星短信（Samsung Messages）应用将于七月份停用。 受影响的三星智能手机和其他设备的用户被要求在此期间切换到谷歌短信（Google Messages），以“在安卓系统上保持一致的短信体验”。

All Samsung Galaxy phones run on Google's Android operating system. To switch to Google Messages, Samsung's website gives users instructions to download the app from the Play Store, if not already on their phone, and set it as the default. Some people may also receive an in-app notification to guide them through the process.

所有三星Galaxy手机都运行谷歌的安卓操作系统。 为了切换到谷歌短信，三星的网站为用户提供了操作说明，让他们从Play商店下载该应用（如果手机上尚未安装的话），并将其设置为默认短信应用。 有些人可能还会收到应用内通知，指导他们完成这一过程。

Samsung says switching to Google Messages will give users access to updates like the latest artificial intelligence features from Google's Gemini — which includes an experimental feature called "Remix" to generate images during conversations and AI-powered reply suggestions — and the ability to share higher quality photos between Android and Apple iOS devices through RCS-enabled messages.

三星表示，切换到谷歌短信将使用户能够获得各种更新，例如谷歌Gemini最新人工智能功能——其中包括一项名为“Remix”（混音）的实验性功能，用于在对话中生成图像，以及由人工智能驱动的回复建议——并且能够通过支持RCS的短信，在安卓和苹果iOS设备之间共享更高质量的图片。

Users of older Android operating systems (dating back to Android 11 or older) will not be impacted by the end of Samsung Messages, the company noted. To check what Android OS you have on a Samsung device, open the settings app, click on "software information" and scroll to "Android version."

该公司指出，较旧版本安卓操作系统（可追溯到安卓11或更早版本）的用户不会受到三星短信停用的影响。 要查看三星设备上安装的是哪个安卓操作系统版本，请打开设置应用，点击“软件信息”，然后滚动到“安卓版本”。

Meanwhile, owners of Samsung's latest Galaxy 26 lineup and other newer phones cannot download the Samsung Messages app from the Galaxy Store today.

与此同时，三星最新的Galaxy26系列及其他较新机型的用户，如今已无法从Galaxy商店下载三星短信应用。

All devices will no longer be able to download Samsung Messages after it's officially discontinued in July, the company noted. Samsung said users can check their app for the exact date for when service will go offline.

该公司指出，所有设备在七月份该应用正式停用后，都将无法再下载三星短信。 三星表示，用户可以查看该应用，以获取服务离线的具体日期。

Beyond the U.S., Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for further information about whether its guidance for Samsung Messages was the same globally.

在美国以外地区，关于其对三星短信的指导意见是否在全球范围内相同，三星没有立即回应进一步信息的请求。
