Google Messages Description
Google Messages is the official Google app for messaging over Rich Communication Services (RCS) with fallback to SMS/MMS. Get more done in your messages with one-tap calendar reminders and emoji replies, and keep your conversations secure with spam protection and end-to-end encryption so you can focus on connecting with the people and businesses you care about — no matter what device they use.

Know when friends are typing or when they've read your message, share high-resolution images and videos, easily add people to a group chat, and experience an all-around richer messaging experience.

End-to-end encryption secures your eligible communications, so no one (including Google and third parties) can read or view your messages and attachments except the person you’re messaging.

If a website is suspicious or unsafe, you’ll be warned before clicking any links. You can also block and report potential spammers to help stop unwanted and fraudulent messages.

Share high-resolution videos directly from your Google Photos library.

Keep the conversation going no matter what device you're on. Enjoy RCS chats with friends on your phone, computer, Android tablet, or smart watch with the Messages app.

Access suggested replies, one-tap calendar reminders, link sharing, and more without leaving your message. Reply quicker and get more out of your conversations with smart actions.

Suggested responses, gifs, and emojis make conversations faster and more fun. Reply back to messages with just a tap and keep the conversation going.

App also available on Wear OS

Comments about Google Messages Android Version
This app is okay. Not the best messaging app. The Samsung messaging app allows me to group conversations into different categories (like work and home). I really liked that feature. I have also been having issues sending messages to family and coworkers. The RCS is spotty at best and if that isn't working, the messages never switch to SMS even though I have that option turned on.
As of today, I am a first time user and my first impressions are generally good except for one huge disappointment. The area to compose and edit your messages is too small to work with. It makes it easier to mistakenly tap other screen elements around it (like "send" when you're not ready yet). This definitely needs to be fixed. Everything else is less important. We don't need an emoji button and microphone icon occupying the little bit of message editing space. That was poorly considered.
Latest update destroyed the app. It was great. Now it's so frustrating to use it makes me want to throw my phone across the room. You can't zoom on photos anymore. Sending several photos is now much harder because each time you send one it hides the photo selector, so you have to reopen it again. Edit: they did fix/reverse the update to the input box being on the left and weird. ±2 stars. Please also fix photo issues stated above.
