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

App also available on Wear OS

I love the app but only gave it 4 stars for the following reason. It's limited in the number of characters allowed. Instead of not allowing you to type anymore it just cuts your message off. If I send a long message the end of it gets lost and I must retype/send it. Also it only allows one photo to be sent at a time. Wish it would allow multiple attachments. Besides those two thing's the app is great and I use it daily with no issues!

I would like to report an issue that keeps going on update after update without any improvements. When you take pictures with your phone, when you go to Google Message app to send it...you have to close the app completely in order for the app to refresh and show you the most recent pictures from your phone. It's completely annoying that process of going back and forth every time you want to send a picture.

Hi, Jose. Let's try resetting the app data. More info here (see "Clear the app's cache" section): https://goo.gl/gX7ctA. Hope this helps!

Overall, the apt is exceptional. Quick and easy to use. The only problem is blocking calls. I've entered numbers in the block list several different ways, but it does not work on country codes. You put in the country code three different ways, and they still manage to come through. Needs a definite improvement in this area, especially if they want 5 stars.
