Comments for Android

★★★★★ It's good, but I can't send messages to iphone user who use RCS I need to react it to make the messages delivered to them, but overall it's great, and I also like Gemini AI feature please don't remove it. I notice Gemini AI disappear on Beta version and I dislike it I prefer Gemini on Google messages, so please consider keeping it on Google messages 🙏
★★★★★ I like the larger message box, AI didn't change words in my messages, and I like the larger font.
★★★★★ Had to switch over, and everything was smooth and easy to use.
★★★★★ Cool app and keeps getting better. Simple and clean. RCS Chat features should be enabled for all Android users by default. It has a lot of catching up to do with iMessage, but it's getting there. If done right, this might as well replace WhatsApp in the near future(off course with heavy marketing)
★★☆☆☆ Everything seems to work alright, except for the group chats. If I send one in the main group chat, it creates a new group chat subtracting one of the other members and sends the message over and over until there are only 2 members left. Also, when I select a group to send a message in it sometimes sends it in that one and repeats process explained above. And sometimes it doesn't send in that group at all and sends the message in a different group chat that it created itself.
★★☆☆☆ I like being able to flag messages with emojis and to see ppl typing/responding to texts, but that's about it. Response/refresh time is much slower than my previous Messages app that I was forced to give up for this one. And when I click on a picture that someone sends me to enlarge it, all I see is black. I have to download it to my phone to be able to zoom in. Those are the two most annoying bugs to date. I wish I could go back to my old Messages app. Not happy with this one at all.
★★☆☆☆ I absolutely hate this app. I cannot change the color, text, theme, or font. I don't like the way it looks it is difficult for me to see, I absolutely hate that Verizon has forced us to use Google messages
