Android Messages

Messenger from Google lets you stay in touch with friends and family online and via SMS and MMS.

With Google Messenger you can send group texts, chat online, share pictures and more all from the same app.

The latest version of Google Messenger helps you stay organized by keeping all of your conversations in the same place, no matter who you’re talking to. You can find all of your friends by scanning your phone and multiple email accounts and get started talking in seconds.

One of the best features of Google Messenger is the ability to send SMS and MMS messages directly to your contacts. This makes finding and sorting conversations, media, and chat logs a lot easier than having to bounce back and forth in your phone’s native texting app.

An important note: if you’re using Messenger on a shared device your conversations can’t be hidden. Always logout when apps aren’t in use on shared devices!

Other than that, this IM app from Google offers a nice range of features and can help you better organize your personal conversations, media, and group chats.
