Ironically, this is the comment in this thread that's not paranoid enough, because to my knowledge both Google and Samsung use their own closed-source message and phone apps, along with other standard apps. (Idk about other vendors, but the same is pretty likely for major brands.)

    I just looked, and you're absolutely right. I had no idea that the Messages app wasn't part of the AOSP. Very interesting (and not in a good way)

    Google integrates its own services in both the phone and messaging apps: namely spam reporting and blocking. I'm guessing that other major brands also have services to that end.

    Google's ‘Messages’ also has a button to make a video call, and I dunno even what app and protocol would be used for that, as I never used video calls and don't have any Google apps for that functionality.
