Sending messages to a phone that is off is very good. I really like the message it sends when the phone is off and messages are not received.

I just want my simple msg app to stay. Why are we being forced to change?.i really don't like the pop-ups and suggestions, chat? Im sure there's people that like that but I find it disruptive and intrusive. I read reviews, there's more that would like to keep what there use to.

I was forced to get messaging app and now every time my phone had a call or message I had to go through ads this app is complete garbage

It sucks!!!! Samsung messages was easier to use and more responsive to suggestions with upgrades. We were forced to use a poorer app. I am furious over the change. For senior citizens you have caused us great difficulties in our normal lifestyle. My phone has still not returned to normal. I am still bombarded with adds for apps I don't want or need. The apps I need are still disappearing from my home page and have to be re-installed or placed back on the home page. How do I get in touch Google?
