Chatbots

i have someone checking in on this..he finds the same thing on his side a report will be fired in to get it looked into. as of right now per the link (i mentioned this up above as well) it says how to turn it off but its Samsung saying how to do it..so odds are they were only mentioning how to on their devices that are running it. since its not able to be turned off on the OP im guessing when they were sent this and worked it into their set up turning it off or having an option to turn it off was forgotten.

kind of wish they would change out my original post as being the answer to the one that includes the link instead since the thread is asking what the heck it is

What OnePlus device do you have?  Are you using the stock OnePlus messaging app?  Nothing like that on either of my OnePlus 7 Pro's. 

I do have OnePlus 7T Pro

Why add services without letting us :

1. conocer
2.  Be able to disable or delete it. 
3. have no information online about this

if youre using the stock messaging app then you will need to bring this up with the manufacturer..the carrier will have zip to do with the stock stuff on the phone itself.

so going off that..whos messaging app is it? have any of you pulled it up to see?

It was on the OnePlus SMS.  I removed the stock SMS and Chatbots went away.

 this ~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^~~~ is why i mentioned if its stock then it wasnt a choice by the carrier..no manufacturer is going to make random changes for only one carrier..its a all or not deal with that stuff.

the above portion was for the others...not you dfwfern lol.

this part is for you though lol

~~~vvvvvvvv~~~~

which one did you end up using by the way? i used to use either Textra or Handcent...but Googles texting app has grown on me with the last couple devices i have owned..

I suspect this starting to be a larger question with other brands of phone seeing the same thing.

Seems to be related to RCS functionality on devices.

 

Installation of a non-default chat app is a workaround not a fix. As the default messaging app cannot be removed (with in The confines of maintaining a warranty) from the phone only disabled.

huh...weird...who woulda thunk it was not something a specific carrier decided to sneak into a stock app on a specific phone..

Chatbots has appeared on my One Plus phone SMS at the top of texts yesterday. I want to delete it. ¿Cómo?

I do not know anything about One Plus, but on my Samsung S20 U, that dang chat bot thing showed up today!  Does anyone have a "Cliff's Notes" style way of explaining how to get rid of the dang thing on a Samsung?!
