trash. full of ads, and makes it near impossible to uninstall if you give the app to many permissions. you have to "force" the app to "stop" in your phone's app management, and then uninstall, if you wish to do that. this is more in response to the complaints below about uninstalling the app. it will totally change your phone.

No Stars. This App loaded , plus allowed a Boost Cleaner to load with it. Next it was not compatible with phone. THEN , somehow, this App managed to stop my phone options to UNINSTALL it. I even went into my Settings, Apps to try... the UNINSTALL option button was deactivated. If you need your phone possessed...AND, "Your" Option Rights "Ghosted" , try it.

Messenger should be a simple friend on our phones to call upon our thoughts to share with others. It is an effective way to communicate and it helps to share the ability to reach out to help, or be helpful. I made it a functional part of my phone and relationship..It is faster than a plane, a train or a car to connect with someone.

I downloaded and before I could even look at it, it changed my entire phone layout. My home screen my app folders everything. I couldn't find it in apps and had to remove it from the play store because I couldn't directly from my phone! I just wanted a new message app not an overhaul on my phone

If I could give this app zero stars I would. I'm so frustrated right now I simply cannot find the words to express how much I hate this app. The ads will absolutely drive you crazy and there's no way to get rid of them believe me I've tried. Not only are they on the screen when you open the app but they also appear in the text messages!! This app was installed on my phone when I got it and wouldn't give me the option to use another messaging app. Ugh I've never hated an app as much as this one.

I will try again. It turns out it wasn't the app but the required permissions may be too much for me. If I can't close the app when I need to do so, I will have to uninstall it again. Maybe your techs can change the app so it doesn't have to manage calls, rearrange my "home screen", and choose where to show texts sent to my phone. I understand that the messages are encrypted but the app that sent it probably didn't have that knowledge. I will edit this review after I use this app longer.

I made the mistake of downloading this when Samsung said to switch to Google Messages. I typed Google Messages in the Google play search bar, this was the first app that came up, so I just assumed that was the right one. FYI it's not! This one is by another company and absolutely awful, trying to launch a whole new view to your phone and won't open messaging if you don't. It also has ads etc.

Wrecked my phone. I only installed this app because I kept getting messages saying my old messaging app was going to stop working soon. After the installation my phone is unrecognisable. All of my apps have been removed from my home screen, the number of screens has been reduced to one and i am unable to add the removed apps back to my home screen. Also everyhing looks different, different colours and fonts. Why do we even need a new messaging app? Its just planed obsolescence.

I'm finding difficulty seeing all of phone contacts over the passed 60 days. No app is bringing those contacts up , I'm wanting to access them to add some of those contacts to a private contact list . Not a single app is bringing any of those phone contacts up, allowing me select for my list. Any ideas?

I think that this app is trash I think that some definite tweaking needs done. Also I feel for it to once installed change the entire format of your settings of your apps of anything in your phone that's not cool. And I think that if they're going to continue to do this they need to at least give you the for warning because I went through a lot of grief trying to get this out of my fiance's phone

Dreadful experience, Google should remove this app from Play. It actually appears above the official Google messaging app if you search for "Google SMS". It took over my phone, changed everything, and would not allow uninstall. Eventually, I managed to get into Play Store and uninstalled from there. Mercifully, previous phone setup was restored.

Not worth a damn you have to go back and forth through the messenger and the messages you got to switch it back and forth and I don't like that part have one for all messages I don't like the switching back and forth part takes too much time

It keeps mine and whomever conversations encrypted you each have to have the code in order to read it that's good for ones business. You wouldn't want someone stealing your services or new ideas It remedies both important ,private and casual conversation it's very good..

I am being inundated with text message apps. About 6 so far. All about the same with little variance. SMS, MMS and all that nonsense. Some I can't even send messages. Needless complications.

Will add more info once I figure out the cause. Need more hours in the, for sures! l am closing and continuously cleaning or force stopping various apps... I keep thinking the cause could be too many apps (like FIVE Messaging ones!!😟) To be fair tho, I JUST switched from the Motorola browser to using this Google browser. Just recently bought this phone and the saleswoman couldn't figure out how to completely add my account and all info from my old phone to this new Motorola.

*Protect backed up messages with end-to-end encryption* Your personal messages already have end-to-end encryption protection, and now that can extend to backed up messages. Just turn on encrypted backups and set a password, or get a 64-digit encryption key. It’s so private, not even WhatsApp has access.
