But don't panic, the ability to communicate with your friends and other players isn't going away. Sony is just reorganizing some of its core apps. We tell you what will happen to PlayStation Messages and where you will see your messages from this next change.
Goodbye to PS Messages
Sony has been warning since almost mid-October that PS Messages would no longer work as a standalone app. First, it reported that the PlayStation Messages app was no longer operational, as it would be integrated into a new PlayStation App.
So while users can still find the PS Messages app on Google Play and the App Store, they will see that push notifications no longer work for messages sent from PS4. And now, the final notice is for those inattentive users who haven't heard of this change yet: PS Messages will be gone for good at the end of October.
The app will no longer be available in the Stores, and if you have it installed, it will be of no use to you, since all its functions will be inactive. What will happen to your messages? How will you communicate with your friends? We'll tell you then
A new place for your messages
Sony will not eliminate the possibility of you being able to communicate with your friends from your mobile. It has only made a small adjustment according to all the changes that it has been announcing in recent weeks, before the launch of the PS5, and which are intended to improve the user experience.
PlayStation Messages for iOS and Android will be integrated into the new PlayStation app, with all its popular features. This will no longer work as a standalone app, and you will need to download the new PS App to use it on your iOS or Android device.
You can keep sending messages, photos, stickers, access groups, share voice messages, see who's online, etc. At the moment, user opinions seem to be divided regarding this change. Some think that it is a good idea to unify the functions of the apps, and others do not want to give up the dynamics to which they are already accustomed.
