Description

Been using Messages for a couple months now. It’s basically a simple, fast SMS messaging app for Android. Pretty solid if you’re into keeping up with your texts and calls.

Here’s what you can do: send and receive text messages quickly, schedule messages to be sent later, and create group chats. And it’s got a cool After Call screen that gives you quick access to your inbox after each phone call. Took me a while to figure that one out but it’s pretty useful.

Look, if you’re looking for a no-frills messaging app that gets the job done, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the ads can be kinda annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it works well. Worth checking out if you’re tired of your current SMS app.

Editor Opinion

So here's my take on Messages. I've tried a bunch of Android messaging apps and this one's pretty good. It's got all the core features you'd expect like sending/receiving texts, group chats, and scheduling. Nothing super fancy, but it's reliable and easy to use. The After Call screen is a nice touch. The ads can get old, but you can pay to remove them. Overall, it's a solid option if you just need a basic SMS app that works well.
