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.

Well thats a suprise. Being google I just assumed they intercept everything for data mining.
