Google Messenger: A Modern Take on Texting

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), meaning it doesn't include chats sent through Google's instant messaging tool.

While Messenger sticks to SMS, it boasts several new and exciting features. For instance, you can block any number directly from the app, preventing unwanted texts. Additionally, you can set up "Do Not Disturb" periods to avoid receiving messages during specific times.

The most noticeable change is Messenger's interface, which is significantly cleaner and more elegant compared to its predecessor. You can even use it to send photos and videos directly to your contacts.

Messenger is a reliable tool for managing your messages, backed by Google's reputation for quality. This reassurance is particularly valuable when dealing with sensitive content like text messages.
