Help Can't get rid of Google message to change back to Samsung (for texts)

[lynxstch]

We have 2 day old phones, an S22+ and a S22. This morning the text icon changed. Used to be the one with 3 horizontal dots. Then it looked like a cloud shaped one. I got mine to change back by changing it to default. We tried to do it with my husbands and even though it shows Samsung message as the default, the icon that is showing is still the Google one (at least we think that's what it is). He tried disabling the Google one in apps, all that did was make the whole message icon disappear. How do we get rid of the new one and go back to the old one on his?
Thanks in advance

where is this icon showing up? in the notification bar? on your homescreen? in your app drawer?

if the icon is on your homescreen, you can just long press and move it towards the top where it says remove. you can then add the samsung message app by going to the app drawer and long press it and move to the homescreen.

Thank you for your reply. It was on the home screen, and in the app drawer. We got it working, and appreciate your help!
