What is the 'Search for Chatbots' thing in my text message contacts and how do I get rid of it?
There's a group ABOVE my favorites in the contact section of my text messages that's called "Chatbots" with a contact called "Search for Chatbots." When I click on it, I get a warning that it's a T-m...
Ok. I just got a OnePlus from T-Mobile and saw this as well. Clicked it agreed and saw the same search however when I his search it brought up a list of retailers. One of the retailers was Kroger so I typed "What's this week's specials". This brought up a response with coupons and recipes. I Googled chat it's and apparently they are a customer service AI device that helps customers with basic questions and are designed to interact in a conversational way more like chatting with a person. Hopefully this helps people understand them. The Kroger one was actually pretty cool to interact with.
I have a Samsung S20 FE 5G and I am seeing the same. I open the native Messages app. At the bottom there are 2 "tabs"; Conversations and Contacts. When I tap the Contacts tab, there's a specific "Chatbots" section, separate from Favorites and Groups. Currently it has an item labeled "Search for Chatbots". When I tap the "Search for Chatbots", I get a disclaimer message that says,
"You hereby acknowledge and agree that:
.The Chatbot Service and any contents provided to you through such service, are being provided to you by T-Mobile, and not by Samsung.

Agree"
I imagine the feature is intended to separate those text notifications from your bank, pharmacy, or even the T-Mobile product and billing notifications. But I'd really like an official confirmation before I agree to or use any feature. Or the option to opt-out of and/or remove the feature.
Looks like I can only attach one image, I attempted to attach a collaged screen shot of both the Contacts and Disclaimer screens, but I think the attachment was too large, so I've only attached the Contacts screen shot. The Disclaimer I copy/pasted above the exact wording.
