Messenger: A Fresh Take on Text Messaging
Messenger is Google's official instant messaging app, designed to replace the old app that managed your text messages. Unlike Hangouts, Messenger focuses solely on traditional text messages (SMS), leaving Google's instant messaging tool for separate conversations.
New Features for a Smoother Experience
While Messenger sticks to SMS, it introduces some exciting new features. You can block any number directly from the app, preventing unwanted texts. Additionally, you can set specific times when you don't want to receive any messages at all, providing a much-needed break from notifications.
A Refined and Elegant Interface
The most noticeable change is the interface. Compared to the previous text management app, Messenger boasts a cleaner and more elegant design. You can even use it to send photos and videos directly to your contacts, making sharing easier than ever.
Google's Seal of Quality
Messenger is a powerful tool for managing messages, backed by Google's reputation for quality and reliability. This assurance is particularly important when dealing with sensitive content like text messages.
Requirements
To enjoy the latest features, you'll need Android 8.0 or higher.
