As the newest android upgrade, Lollipop, is currently rolling for nexus and other selected devices, it's native messaging app has reached Google Playstore and apparently, available for download. Have a look at its refreshing visuals.
Bright, popping colors please the eye and conforms with the Material Design scheme. We have seen these changes progressively with the recent updates of Google Maps, Gmail, Chrome, etc. With this update, a messaging app catering SMS and MMS solely blends well with the minimalistic, plain, colorful and relaxing design brought by the Material Design update.
After a half day of using the Messenger, I have seen its fluidity and functionality as well as some expectations not met, for now. The sending animation is something fresh, but I was looking for more animation other than the send button. The color assigned to contacts are random; like what we've seen on Gmail.
Features highlighted are:
- Faster sharing: Select or take pictures and videos directly from the app and share easily. You can even send audio messages to your contacts.
- Easy search: Search through contacts and conversation threads to find exactly what you are looking for.
- Purposeful design: New, fluid, material design that is intuitive and delightful.
- More control: Ability to block SMS senders. No interruptions when you don’t want them!
- More features: audio messages, emoji support, colored text threads, message archiving and more.
Overall, I recommend other Android users to try this new Messenger app. But only android version 4.1 and up can install and use it. If you liked it, make it your default messaging app under its settings.
Download it at Google Playstore.
