Google Messenger is the official SMS app from Google, designed to replace the old app that managed your text messages. Unlike Hangouts, Messenger focuses solely on traditional text messages (SMS), meaning it doesn't handle chats sent through Google's instant messaging tool.
Enhanced Features for a Smoother Experience
Despite its focus on SMS, Messenger boasts several new and useful features. You can block any number directly from the app, preventing unwanted texts. Additionally, you can schedule "Do Not Disturb" periods to avoid receiving messages during specific times.
A Refined Interface for Effortless Communication
One of the most significant changes is the revamped interface. Compared to the previous text management app, Messenger offers a cleaner and more elegant design. You can also easily send photos and videos directly to your contacts.
Google Quality and Security
Messenger provides a reliable and secure way to manage your text messages, backed by Google's reputation for quality and security.
