Morning, 

Anyone knows when i can expect the new version of messages. I am with fido. Thanks

Hi, I suggest you to check with your carrier.

You can check to see if there's a new version of Samsung Messages on apk mirror as well as the Play Store or Galaxy Store.

I did check the play store and galaxy one nothing showed up.

Check the installed version of Samsung Messages on your phone against what is available on apk mirror to see if there's a newer version.

I tried downloading the July 23rd it didn't install. My messages version is 12.1.40.1 guess I'll wait for the provider (Fido). Thank you

Yeah I think that it's because if an app is a system app, Samsung uses a different "signature" for the apk. I don't think that it's always been like that? 

If there was a newer version of Samsung Messages on apk mirror, you could try this. Settings > Apps >Samsung Messages & uninstall all updates > Reboot & Update Samsung Messages. It *MIGHT* force the newer version to be installed from the Play Store or Galaxy Store.

There really isn't likely to be much of a change between versions if you already have Samsung Messages 12.x

Try to uninstall the app and reapply it worked for me and I'm on Videotron

I don't see how since it's a default app. I have the force stop only option..how did you do?

I was using the Google messaging app and decided to go back to the Samsung messaging app and it updated automatically
