Tips & secrets

Auto-delete codes — in Settings, open the “Message organization” section and turn on deleting OTP codes after 24 hours. This keeps one-time passwords from piling up in your inbox.
Sort by category — the app automatically sorts messages into groups: personal, transactions, OTP codes, and offers. Tap a category below the search bar to see only messages from that group.
Scheduled sending — you can write a message right away and schedule it to send at a specific time. This makes it easy to prepare a greeting in advance.
Archive instead of delete — hold down a chat in your conversation list to send it to the archive. The chat disappears from the list but isn’t deleted.
Clean up copied text — copied text often contains hidden special characters, and in “Settings → Advanced” you can enable automatic replacement with regular ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you chat with iPhone owners through Google Messages?

Yes. RCS lets you find contacts with an iPhone, and group chats can bring together friends on both Android and iPhone in one window.

Is messaging in Google Messages secure?

End-to-end encryption works between Google Messages users. Only the recipient can read the text and attachments, and Google and third parties have no access to them. A built-in filter blocks incoming spam.

Why might RCS chats not work?

RCS chats depend on your region and carrier, and they may require mobile data. The set of features varies by country and device, and some features only unlock after joining the beta testing program.

Description Changelog

Description

Google Messages is Google's proprietary messaging client that replaces the familiar SMS app on Android. It runs on the RCS protocol, the industry standard that has succeeded SMS and MMS. Through RCS you can send photos and videos without quality loss, chat in group conversations, and find contacts, including iPhone owners. The app is a good fit for those tired of photos compressed beyond recognition in MMS, but who don't want to convince all their friends to install a third-party messenger.

What everyday messaging looks like in Google Messages

Everyday communication here feels just like in popular messengers: you can see when the other person is typing a reply, photos and videos arrive in high resolution, and group conversations bring together friends on both Android and iPhone in one window. You can customize the chat's appearance: choose a message color or record a GIF selfie so your reply feels livelier than a regular emoji. Protection deserves special mention. End-to-end encryption is active between Google Messages users, so no one else — not Google, not third parties — can read the text or open attachments except the recipient. Incoming spam is filtered out by a built-in filter. If you need to quickly come up with the right wording, the built-in assistant and other AI features can help.

Phone, tablet, watch

A conversation isn't tied to just your smartphone: you can start it on your phone and continue on a tablet or computer. There's also a version for watches running Wear OS. Keep in mind that RCS chat functionality depends on your region and carrier, may require mobile internet, and the set of features varies by country and device. Some capabilities are only unlocked after signing up for the beta testing program. To get the latest version without waiting for an update through the store, simply download Google Messages for android as an APK file from this page. Installation is free and takes just a couple of minutes.
