Google Messages on the positive side!

[requa]

While many users are understandably upset about the discontinuation of Samsung Messages and the ability to customize the UI of Samsung Messages, I'm glad to see indications that Google will soon be enhancing its Messages app on that front. For those who truly want an app they can tweak with colors and effects, that's fine, and I've had good experiences with Textra and other apps.

For me, the functionality in Google Messages takes priority over the skinning in Samsung Messages -- the spam message filtering thanks to Goggle's search engine prowess, and the nifty feature of automatically deleting OTP passcode messages after 24 hours. 

While we wait for Google to make the app UI more enjoyable , have some fun exploring the other ways it already adds a little pleasure. Stumble across some of the fun  screen effects that often show up unexpectedly. Send yourself a text message using Google Messages including phrases like "Happy Birthday" or "Spring has sprung" to see what I'm talking about, and don't write Google off as totally boring.

To see Positivity here in the community is a plus, specially at times when you see a lot of negativity in posts. 👏

I love both, its definitely sad to see one leave though. But, if google messages will add more customizations (they probably will to help move more samsung messages users over), then I'm okay with it i guess.
