   In a Tweet posted by @Android today, Google and AT&T have agreed to   
   make Google Messages the default messaging app for all Android phones   
   sold by the carrier. While most Android devices already come   
   pre-installed with Google Messages, Samsung phones continued arriving   
   with Samsung's built-in messaging app that did support RCS, but does   
   not support Google's recently enabled end-to-end encryption for   
   one-on-one chats.   
      
   With T-Mobile agreeing to do the same a few months ago, and now AT&T   
   pledging to completely switch to Google Messages' RCS, Verizon is the   
   only major US carrier left to make the pledge to make Google Messages   
   the default app for messaging on its Android phones. As of now,   
   Verizon continues to pre-load its self-branded Messages+ app as the   
   default.
