I just DL'ed Google's latest messenger app, so far Im loving the clean look. The biggest benefit I love is...you can attach multiple pics whereas Hangouts wouldnt allow it. Has anyone else tried it?

Never used Chomp. I was using Hangouts for SMS/MMS/chats however I could only sent out 1 pic at a time. It got real frustrating, lol

Not a Note 4, but I DLed the Messenger app this morning and uninstalled within a half hour. I was already using an SMS app with Material Design, and it has more customization options and a better text input box in the conversation threads.

I DL'd it earlier, I like it so far. Gives it the same feel as inbox.

I was actually using hangouts with my note 4 on t-mobile but on Verizon I like their app since I can also use it on my iPad. Downloaded this and I like it so far. Google got me to use their Gmail app now and messenger :)

I downloaded it earlier today too. Like the look a little better than AOSP version.

Brand new to Samsung, Android, and about to try Messenger for the first time. I gave several different sms/mms apps a shot recently, but reverted back to Messages because all of them had at least one deal breaker. I have faith in Google though.

I tried it but, I went back to Hello. Much better than the stock messaging app though.

Does anybody know if it will archive your messages into GMail?

I used to love Google Voice when I was on Sprint, because it would automatically save all my text messages (mobile, not Google Voice number) in my GMail. I would be interested in using it, if it does this.

Re: Google Messenger...Is anyone using it??

I'm going to say it... for me at least, I can not stand hangouts, for SMS in particular. I like the new messaging app, looks nice, seems to function well, but I haven't had the opportunity to try out the primary thing I hate about touchwiz messenger... when you get a message, you cannot stop the reminder beeping until you actually load up messenger. Textra allows you to mark a message read by clearing the notification. Its much less intrusive.

I'll be watching today to see if google messenger does it or not.

i just switched from Hangouts to Messenger. if Google believes in Messenger enough to make it the default text app on the Nexus 6 i will give it a shot.

Excuse my off topic question but I just don't want to start a new thread about this:

Is there a superior phone dialer app that you can recommend over the stock samsung TW phone dialer? I hate it! Thanks

Loving it so far. I found Hangouts lagged a bit on my note 4, so far I have zero issues. It also looks cool with the new material update to the Google Keyboard. Very nice!

Re: Google Messenger...Is anyone using it??

one thing that is missing on Messenger vs. Hangouts is the quick "send my current location via Google Maps" button. not that i used it much anyway.
