Samsung phones have been caught texting pictures to contacts without permission. Here’s how to make sure that doesn’t happen on your phone.<\/b>
\nIf you have a new Galaxy S9, you\u2019re probably using Samsung Messages for your texting needs. The default messaging client on all new Galaxy phones, the app lets you text your friends and family with modern features and strong search, and integrates with all of Samsung\u2019s other apps. In short, if you’re locked into the Samsung ecosystem, you have every reason to use it.
Samsung says it\u2019s investigating the issue. The company also asks affected users to call the company\u2019s support line at 1-800-SAMSUNG with any complaints. But until it releases a fix\u2014or even an explanation\u2014here\u2019s what you can do to limit any damage to your personal life:
You can\u2019t delete Samsung Messages from your phone, but you don\u2019t have to use it to send texts on your Galaxy phone. Options abound in the Play Store, including Facebook Messenger, Pulse SMS, WhatsApp Messenger, and a bunch of others. But your best (and safest) bet is Android Messages. You can download it from the Play Store for free, and there\u2019s also a cool new web component that lets you text from your PC.<\/p>\n
