is it google android messages or is a moto app? i have android messages installed but the stock app looks alot like it.
It probably came with Android Messages and maybe Verizon Message+ if it's a Verizon phone. You can make either one the default, or make any SMS Text app the default.
It sounds like T Mobile has their own messaging app like Verizon. All of my Z series phones are Verizon and have 2 text apps installed, Verizon Message+ and Android Messages. Of course Verizon makes their app the "default" but it's easy to switch the default to Android Messages.
Moto Z had this green on installed. Can't unistall.To the best of my knowledge Moto phones ship with Android Messages installed, since they run near stock Android. Verizon phones come with Android Messages and Verizon Message. I don't think Moto has their own text app, but could be wrong. Android Messages looks like this in the app drawer.

Wow, I think that might be the old Moto messages app, before they switched to Android Messages. That's on a Z2 Force?
