Google Messenger: A Streamlined SMS Experience
Google Messenger is the official SMS messaging app, replacing the older text management application. Unlike Hangouts, Messenger focuses solely on traditional text messages (SMS), not Google's instant messaging service.

Despite its SMS-only functionality, Messenger boasts several useful features. Block unwanted numbers directly within the app, silencing bothersome texts. Schedule "Do Not Disturb" periods to manage message notifications effectively. The interface is significantly cleaner and more elegant than its predecessor, offering a more refined user experience. Furthermore, you can easily share photos and videos with your contacts.
Messenger provides a reliable and user-friendly way to manage your SMS messages, backed by Google's reputation for secure content handling.
