Google Messenger because it has Gifs and RCS which shows me when messages are sent/received or the person is typing. Also I can send larger photos.

Hi,

try and look on the app store for a specific SMS app to use, otherwise I recommend you use Skype, or Google Hangouts!

Thanks.

That's what I was doing. I just wanted to know specifically what people who use this phone were using if not using stock.
Thanks for the reply.

I'm using Textra. Able to customize contacts notification sounds, colors, etc. Also does group SMS. Easy to use. I want to try google messenger, but I think others will have to use the app as well? For those who have google messenger, please correct me if i am wrong.

Google messenger because it's just seamless. Textra is my second favorite. I kind of like the stock messaging app but GIFs from the Google Keyboard don't work with it.

Hi. I'm new to Android. Any chance you could quickly describe how to set Skype as my default SMS messenger?

Not sure you can set Skype as default messenger, only default phone option.

But otherwise, the way to set a default option for an app on the M9 is

Settings
Apps
Settings
Default App Settings
