How about Messages fix their Group Messages abilities? If I try to share a link from outside of Messages into a group I have in messages, have fun trying to call that group whether it has a title or not. Try to share more than picture from messages!! You have to download them first! So stupid

I am a strong supporter of SMS and RCS but because of Facebook I also use Messenger. Despite the painful pressure from friends, I never wanted to put WhatsApp (No1 in my country, Switzerland). In Europe normally WhatsApp and Messenger will be partially compatible in 2025.
In the meantime, if this news of being able to use in Google Message for WhatsApp videos instead of Meet, it would actually uninstall Meet and finally put WhatsApp and a surprise from friends after years.... let's hope for 2025 for all that.

Phaser, 08 Feb 2025The one thing I wish I could add to my texts is a signature... moreCould you try the following and let me know if it works?
Open the Settings app
Tap System > Languages and input > On-screen keyboard > Gboard > Dictionary > Personal dictionary
Select your language
Tap the Add (+) button in the top-right
In the "Type a word" field, input your custom thank you message
In the "Shortcut:" field, input the key that you want to assign the message to
Now, return to Gboard's settings and tap Text correction. Enable Show suggestion strip (if it wasn't already).
Now, when you tap that key, you will see your custom thank you message in the middle of the suggestion strip.
A quicker way to access Gboard's settings in the future would be to hold the comma key and swipe to select the settings cog that appears.

Whatsapp is a thing like bbm was in the past but today and since years lots of people moved to telegram and got back using it since it has more functionality and options years ago that whatsapp just got around 40% of its options just recently.
Whatsapp direction in the metaverse is a cluster mess in its own that Facebook and whatsapp still are not cross communication and also telegram is far much better with battery usage and fast on your phones old hardware

The whole google messaging app needs a overhaul. It's not up to date like others.. Very little customization

MoE1, 08 Feb 2025Google messages don't even support messages to android... moreThis is why I complained that RCS is not really a standard when only Google is shoehorning it everywhere through their data hoarding schemes and no one else wants to have any part of it, not even ISP's who already have to provide SMS service as stand alone functionality. RCS could entirely replace it at this point, but because of Google's BS, this won't happen for another decade if not more. It's also why I prefer Samsung's Messages. It's a better app and it's not made by Google. But even better is to just use Signal instead. Entirely separate encrypted protocol that's not tied to any ISP, smartphone maker or Google.

MoE1, 08 Feb 2025Google messages don't even support messages to android... moreI have no idea what you're talking about, been receiving both RCS and standard SMS messages with it just fine for a long time now, never seen anyone else complain about it.
I'd say check your settings to see if you disabled something or didn't give it some required permission, your description sounds more like one of those happened.

Google messages don't even support messages to android messages, how about they fix that first. The rcs function is terrible. If you don't use Google texts app you dont get texts sent from Google texts apps. I have missed so many messages from people includingmedicalprofessionals and medical transports, because i refuse to use it. If you dont set it as your default bad luck you get no access to it. I don't use it because it is terrible for many reasons, like you have to have your data on to receive texts from rcs and it drains it in the background and mainly because It is not as user friendly as regular text. Google should fix the problems it already has instead of adding more problems.

Messaging app interoperability? Um, yesplz! Can we just go back to the multi-protocol days of IM+ or Pidgin?
For the young people that weren't around - having all your chats across all platforms in a single app (with no ads or extra data collection, completely free) was a thing.
