There’s a new Google Messages update page that takes up your phone’s entire display every time you open the app.
Granted, keeping your apps up to date is important, and this new system will help get that across to users. But we’re not sure annoying the hell out of the user about it is the best strategy.
I uninstalled that crap years ago in favor of Key Messaging. Has an awesome keyword filter and spam blacklist.
Is it open source?
Nope, but I don’t care about that.
People still use SMS? Practically everyone I chat to is either on Messenger or WhatsApp. The only time I use SMS is for automated messages that companies send me.
SMS is pretty much the default option in North America
God forbid you communicate through a channel not governed by Facebook
