About this app

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 that you can focus on connecting with the people and businesses that 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-round 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 to messages with just a tap and keep the conversation going.

The app is great, except if you have a work profile partition. Every few days, it stops recognizing your enterprise contacts and you have to clear the cache and data to restore that link. Defeats the purpose of doing any customized notification sounds, pinning important chat groups, etc. Aside from that significant bug, it's almost as good as Verizon Message+ (which I'm disappointed is going away)

My phone was switched over to Google messages automatically and it is the absolute worst. I cannot mute individual conversations or contacts. When you press and hold a conversation there needs to be an option that says mute. Also, It inconsistently blocks messages and numbers added to the block list. Please fix this and give us the basic features of the stock messaging!!!

Hi there. You can mute individual conversations. Go to the conversation you want to mute, tap the three dots top right, tap details, then tap notifications to adjust them for that particular thread. Let's try resetting the app data. More info here (see "Clear the app's cache" section): https://goo.gl/gX7ctA. Hope this helps!

It gets the job done, but I really hope you guys will consider adding more customization options, such as themes and colors, in the future. Additionally, it would be great to see more settings options, as there are a few features from Google Messages that are currently missing. More customization and settings would make this even better!
