      Samsung has their own dedicated redundant app for everything that comes pre-installed and is unremovable.

      It’s why I haven’t even looked at a Samsung since the S6.

        Drives me nuts when I type a apps name and Samsungs knockoff version shows up. The Samsung wallet… Jeez

          Disable or uninstall the ones you don’t want to use. Most of them can be. (Still a hassle though.)

            I do agree with the non-unique naming complaint though. Do I want to use Messages or Messages?

      Yeah, it’s not as noisy and messy as Google’s, it let’s you folder messages by category and has a nice clean quiet interface designed for large displays. Google’s tries to push and sell you on features every time you use it.

      A pity the good one is going away.
