I love Google Messages, but I think it has room to grow. Here are five features it should steal from Apple and Samsung.

That can’t be possible, since Google kills and births a new messaging app and strategy every three. /s

Here's my 5

  • stop spying on me
  • Bring back controlling the color of my contacts.
  • stop selling my data
  • end to end encryption
  • a desktop app that stays signed in (the browser is nice, but having a dedicated app would be cool)

I thought google messages does have end to end encryption? It's the one thing I am jealous about so I stick with Molly, SimpleX, etc. instead and avoid SMS as much as possible.
