At the end of May this year, I got the Tab S5e because of the call and text on other devices features that was being advertised.

Previously, there was an announcement on the Samsung Members app saying the S8 will get this feature as of Q3 2019 in a software update.

It's already Q4, and it's been over 5 months since the feature was announced, and still no updates for this feature. This is unacceptable for a company of this size, to promise features that will not come (at least for the S8)

I really liked the idea of having a Samsung ecosystem like what Apple does, but at this rate, I am getting frustrated with the terrible software support on the older devices that are clearly capable of these features.

To anyone at Samsung, please let us know if we are getting the features we paid money for, or at least tell us that we aren't going to get them. At this point, I only want answers.

If I am just missing something, somebody please tell me how I can get it on the S8.

Is this working yet for you guys? I bought the note 10 assuming from the compatibility page that this was taken care of already...

Nope, not yet. Maybe it's because I have the US version, whereas people with the international version say they already have it

Very frustrating indeed.  I like Samsung hardware but when they show no willingness to support or stand by their word it sticks on your mind when the time comes to upgrade or move on to another harware provider..  It's a shame.
