I don't miss android I'm much happier with iOS and getting updates on day of release

[@jerryeubanks491]

Love your input. But I have one question for you when you go to tap on a contact. Is there a way to have the last five or ten messages sent the names appear at the top, like the old Samsung messages

[@adfjasjhf]

Thank you for this video! Had no idea that RCS is now this feature rich. Love it. If only the web client would not keep logging me out every so often, I would switch my whole family to it haha

[@jeffreyboston1773]

Google messaging really sucks It doesn't do group messaging really good and you can't customize or anything it's pretty basic to me

[@yukilover91]

You can do the same thing with the scheduling messages on Samsung Messages.

[@manowar2816]

Samsung google same they share

[@novadon4729]

Actually, with Samsung u get more features on the schedule. U can even save message to be scheduled later. I loved that feature so much.

[@johnszatkowski6898]

IMO Samsung messaging is WAY better for my needs. For one you can change the background for EACH individual contact and also zoom in/out to make text larger or smaller for each contact. Google now offers "pinning" but Samsung had this YEARS ago! In my personal experience syncing between a tablet and a phone also is greatly degraded using Google over Samsung. Samsung is instant. If you use a Samsung multiple devices you are better off sticking to the Samsung messaging app.

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

I just recently used a scheduled text to myself to test a notification feature on my Samsung phone. It's really cool.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

You can Schedule messages with Samsung Messages

[@Peterstarzynskitech]

[@ebonyde7828]

Question, I was able to use Routines to set edge lighting for specific texts but I have noticed that using Google messages doesn't seem to work for specific messages. Meaning if I get a message from Jane I want the edge to be red but if I get a message from James I want it to be green. I've only figured out how to get it to be all messages. Pleas help 😊

[@mikebernhardt4262]

Do you think that Google messages will ever add contact pictures next to both sent and received message thread

[@Snun1211]

My app will not let me customize the bubble colors? I do not have that option

[@Jisstifer83626]

It only works on RCS chats

[@jayjay-lh7iu]

Same here, it will only let me customize only one contact 😢

[@reginascraftingandmore713]

I just had to switch from Verizon Messages+ to Google messages - How to I get the keyboard you have in this video?

[@tiffanytaylor4164]

Love Message+. Since they're changing, I want to know all I can about this so it can be a seamless transition. I just hope the features work well on my Samsung

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

I love archiving old group messages from group projects that are done.

[@minjaresisaac]

My reaction animations stopped working suddenly so I uninstalled the updates from Google Messages and updated the app again and now both emoji and reaction animations stopped working. And I do have expressive animations turn on. Gemini is also now displayed as a phone number instead of 'Gemini' Any ideas on how to resolve this?

[@Richardclarkson7819]

Alot don't use RCS chat as they have been using google messages for a long time and don't see a need to switch. Personally i like it and wish it would become mandatory sometime.

[@sharmahw]

I still don't see Edit a just sent message. Also the text box for crafting a message is not expandable. It's too small...

[@stephenwilliams-blacksburg]

One of its "tricks" is sending any message someone sends to a group chat; when it comes to my phone, the message shows up in EVERY group that person is a member of. It makes navigating a group thread nearly impossible.

[@evilgrin1]

Is there any call recording app that also shows the transcript?

[@andreylucass]

I can't actually block my bank from sending me spam trough RCS. Even if I click to do so, the messages keep coming. The workaround was to set it as not a conversation then disable their notifications. But they keep sending me messages, now just silently.

[@iamchaos1399]

Thats yout bank notifications, nothing to do with a message app 😊

[@Swtp-ps8qr]

I was able to edit txt msgs and now I cannot. Where is that setting? I want to have the option to make edits again

[@mlcabanganzambales-claribe4357]

Hello sir is the google message /call is seen in web and app google activity ?how accurate is this? 8:32

[@georgiejr69]

😅 is there a way to backup/restore Google messages? Also, can you change the folder to save pics/videos instead of internal storage?

[@MidgardEchoes]

Keep in mind if you use Gemini AI inside Messages then you break the RCS end to end encryption because it requires Google servers to process. Not worth it. Just use AI outside of Messages, it's not that inconvenient but way safer.

[@novadon4729]

U aren't actually using Gemini to chat with someone are you? Gemini is just a separate feature that acts like a contact. Just like u have some contacts in your phone who have RCS and some contacts who don't, Gemini is just acting like a buddy who doesn't have RCS

[@callan69]

I tried using bubble chat for a select few contacts but doesn't work on my z fold 5

[@lukeotics]

Unfortunately, SMS let alone an RCS is not even widely known in Asia.

[@brando3424]

i love the schedule text feature and the OG color feature. I just wish that it was like the OG feature where RCS was not a requirement

[@maryc6173]

I will be switching to Google message very soon. I like to keep my texts indefinitely. Can I keep them indefinitely on my PC but erase them on my phone? Thanks.

[@Regnedi]

Great video bro 👍🏾 . Please can you do a comparison between Samsung Messages vs Google Messages? Thank you 🙏🏾

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Yeah I do Samsung

[@InnerHollow]

On my Samsung Galaxy A33, I am in the beta program. Got the theme option in Google Messages, but when I choose some theme, there is text on the screen that says I changed the theme, but has not changed. What to do to make it work?

[@badphysiotdx2395]

It will work in time, the trouble with making apps for android 13/14 is that there are millions of different phone models to build for.

can i close wifi on my mobile when i use google messages on pc ?

Google messages is infamous for it's bugs

[@abhrajitpaul6057]

They should make three different sections in the app, one for personal messages, one for otps and all, one for spam. Or maybe the last two can be done together.

[@justinengland9814]

My SMS stopped and to fix that. Uninstall the updates via the Playstore, then simply re-add them again!

Does anyone know why I can't receive individual replies when I send an mms group message sending Pictures, Gifs, and screenshots? Samsung Messages let's me do this. I don't like when everyone can see each other's replies when commenting on a picture etc. I might use Google Messages if they fix this.

[@sheliadurant482]

I like Google messages. For my birthday the entire screen would have a birthday display on each birthday text

[@MkurugenziMwenyekiti]

What really baffles me with Google Messages, and actually made me switch to another messaging app, is the fact that I cannot, despite my many attempts to find out how, simply select a word or a phrase from a message I have received without selecting the entire message. Like why can't I simply long tap a word and have the app let me select a text? Like an authentication code. It is supposed to be the best messaging app if it is the default. Yet, on that front, it majorly _SUUUUUCCCCKKKSSS._ It's not a lot to ask of.

[@jamesjagusch187]

Now, below any authenticator message, you can press "copy ######" and you can do it from the notification bar, inside the messages app, or in the bubble version of the conversation. It's a whole lot more intuitive than ever before.

[@danielngove]

[@DanielWilliamIronside]

The only problem with scheduling a message with Google messages is having to long press the send button. Samsung has a separate button for this to prevent accidentally sending the message immediately.
