I just switch to this after using Textra for years. I must admit, i really do like it. Dark theme looks nice. I am hoping the update gives the ability to delay send a text like textra allows. If so, that would make this app even better!

Definitely more options is good but as it is I like the stock message app.

In addition, I do find the web messaging feature very useful and works flawlessly.

In the app, click 3 dots and Messages for Web. On a web browser, go to that URL and use your phone to scan the QR code that appears in your browser. It will then link up in your browser.

Works OK with the Contacts that do show up.

Took a little time - all contacts finally synced with computer.

Has anyone actually seen the updated messaging app by way of the Google play store?

Not yet..

I've had it a few days. Only thing I really noticed was it lets you rename group sms threads. Pretty much transparent otherwise.

Anyone on CHOMP care to comment on a comparison?

Sure, I'll chime in. One thing I noticed with CHOMP, is now that I'm on the Pixel 3XL, there's no option any longer to start typing a CHOMP text, then add a picture from within the CHOMP app. It's gone. it was there with my Moto XPE. Now, the only way to text a pic is to start inside Google Pictures and "share" using CHOMP. Not good.
