Guess what? This is a native feature in Samsung Messages. One of the reasons that make people switch to third-party SMS clients is that of the availability of the message scheduling feature. Sadly, Android Messages lacks both these features. Once starred, they are available under the Starred section. Similarly, you can star individual messages from any chat thread. When you pin a message, it stays at the top of the list even if you receive or send other messages. Both work the same way as pinning and starring messages in WhatsApp. Instead of letting you archive messages, Samsung offers two other features: Star and Pin. However, Samsung Messages lacks that feature. In case you don’t want some messages to show up as you scroll, you can archive them instead of deleting permanently. Note: Android Messages will soon receive the Material design theme Archive Messages In Samsung Messages, you get a separate tab for contacts accessible through a swipe gesture. On the first screen, you will find all your messages in a list format. While Samsung Messages has a whitish look, Android Messages looks more colorful thanks to the colored contact icons. Both the apps have a similar yet distinct user interface.
