Messenger is Google's official instant messaging app, designed to replace the older app that managed your text messages. Unlike Hangouts, Messenger focuses solely on traditional text messages (SMS), meaning it doesn't handle chats sent through Google's instant messaging tool.
While Messenger only works with 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 specific times when you don't want to receive any text messages at all.
The most noticeable change is the interface. Compared to the previous text management app, Messenger's interface is cleaner and more elegant. You can even use it to send photos and videos directly to your contacts.
Messenger is a reliable tool for managing messages, backed by Google's seal of quality, offering peace of mind when handling sensitive content like text messages.
