On Android, you’re not restricted to a single messaging application. If you don’t like the pre-installed messaging app, you can download a third-party application from the Google Play store. Once done, you can set it as your default messaging application.
Changing the messaging app will not delete your existing messages on your device. All the messages will show up in the new messaging application once you switch to it. However, you will not be able to use other messaging applications when a different app is set as default. Follow the steps below to successfully change the default messaging app on your Samsung Galaxy A14.
