Samsung is now prompting owners of older Galaxy smartphones to switch from Samsung Messages to Google Messages.

Samsung has just released details of September’s firmware update for Galaxy users, which is more complex than usual, including some critical missing updates. As ever, you can expect this to start rolling out to the newest flagships imminently.
