Messenger: A Modern Take on Text Messaging

Messenger is Google's official instant messaging app, designed to replace the older app that managed your text messages. Unlike Hangouts, Messenger focuses solely on traditional text messages (SMS), meaning it doesn't handle chats sent through Google's instant messaging tool.

While Messenger sticks to SMS, it introduces some exciting new features. You can block any number directly from the app, preventing unwanted texts. Additionally, you can set specific times to silence notifications and avoid interruptions.

The most noticeable change is Messenger's interface, which is significantly cleaner and more elegant than its predecessor. You can even use it to send photos and videos directly to your contacts.

Messenger is a powerful tool for managing your messages, backed by Google's reputation for quality. This assurance is particularly valuable when dealing with sensitive content like text messages.
