Chatbots on Contacts
After an update this chatbots thing appeared. I want it gone. It is not necessary. Reading the questions here there many others do too. How to remove it from contact screen?
or switch to a different messaging app…
there is a video in this forum that explains what chatbots are used for etc..
its basically an attempt to be like Alexa and Google assistant…

if im remembering right it was something Samsung created and was testing with and OP ended up joining in on testing it as well..could have sworn it could be turned off but not fully deleted since its part of their texting app. Google Messages does not have this.
at least not yet.
Does not appear to be a way to remove it. Samsung purposely makes it inconvenient to remove it, like so much forced retail software the code is embedded in a way the customer has to step over it. The hope is the thing in the way will generate more revenue by forcing itself onto the customer. More horrible tech manipulation and the consumer can do nothing.
i think it can be turned off on Samsung phones..OP phones i dont believe they allowed it to be turned off.. this is a OP and Samsung deal..
