The fuck is google messages? Is this what replaced hangouts?
Hilarious assumption, but nope. It’s just the default sms app on google phones.
Google Chat replaced hangouts and is not E2E.
Google Messages is the Android default SMS App, at least on Pixel phones. It is Android's best equivalent to "iMessage"
It's the default SMS application on Pixel devices.
On many devices, actually. Over 34 OEMs. https://jibe.google.com/partners/oems/
Even Samsung outside the US uses it by default.
