Google Messenger: A Modern Take on Text Messaging
Google Messenger is the official instant messaging app from Google, designed to replace the old app that handled text message management. Unlike Hangouts, Messenger focuses solely on traditional text messages (SMS), not Google's instant messaging service.
New Features for a Smoother Experience
Despite its focus on SMS, Messenger boasts several new and useful features. You can block unwanted numbers directly within the app, ensuring you no longer receive messages from them. Additionally, you can set up "Do Not Disturb" periods to avoid receiving texts during specific times.
A Refined Interface for a Seamless Experience
The most noticeable change is the interface. Compared to the previous text management app, Messenger's interface is cleaner and more elegant. You can even use it to send photos and videos directly to your contacts.
Google Quality, Secure Messaging
Messenger is a reliable tool for managing messages, backed by Google's commitment to quality. This reassurance is particularly important when handling sensitive content like text messages.
Requirements
Android 8.0 or higher is required for the latest version of Google Messenger.
