I'm using hangouts as the go to for SMS/MMS and video calling. Nice to have one app that does everything that I need. Had a few issues in the beginning sending MMS with hangouts but updated the APN settings and no problems.

Textra. Will go back to messenger once Gmail contact groups are supported

How did you get that to work on Nexus 6P? I have no icon for messages. I used to have an icon when I had Samsung galaxy but when I swtiched to nexus, I cannot directly message anymore. Either I have to use buddies. Using VZW messenger, it does not allow me to reply to a text

Textra is great, but I use chomp because it's way more customisable

Used textra but ads annoyed me, didn't like enough to spend money for app. I love the Google messenger app, hangouts is for some alternative communications.

I use Verizon Messages. Although their recent update has broken MMS capabilities. So I've rolled back to a previous version. You can find the apk online for version 6.02.

The version in the Google Play Store is 6.2.3; I haven't had any luck with sending MMS, but chalked it up to being on Fi. I'll look for that earlier version and see if it makes a difference.

I liked how it integrated Glympse, but wasn't willing to give up MMS.

I like Textra , although I have problems sending photos with this app . May be something I am doing wrong .

I use Hangouts as I am on Project Fi and this lets me access SMS from my PC, tablets as well as my phone.

Hangouts, but I am on Fi. I like being able to respond to SMS messages and hear my voicemail from my work computer since I can't have my phone at my desk.

Textra. Had it on the G4 and moved it over to the 6P. Purchased the pro version (thanks Google rewards, before I was apparently blacklisted), so no ads and it's always smooth.

Though I am probably going to switch (for a short time anyways) to Allo when it comes available just to see what it's all about.

Had same issue sending photos while in Europe. Switched to messenger and photos started going through. Stayed with messenger since then without issues. I'm using Project Fi.

I'm using Facebook Messenger because it's my primary messagging platform which means adding SMS integration removes one extra icon from my homescreen.

I just wish there was a way to customise colors for the SMS like there is for the chat. I don't like it being bright purple for everyone.

Undoubtedly the choice of purple is unusual. I don't have a problem with purple but I just don't know why it wasn't something like green.
