View quick summary
When Satellite Messaging is available, a "Connect to satellite to send and receive messages" prompt with a Connect option will appear. This prompt will also stay during chats just above the text box, essentially reminding you to connect to Satellite messaging. Ideally, these options should only appear when there's no internet and cellular network.
After years of pushing from Google and the EU, Apple finally added RCS to iPhones. Now, recent findings have revealed a few strings that suggest Google may soon add RCS support for Google Messages on Wear OS, making texting in the Android ecosystem a bit seamless.
The process of retrieving deleted messages may differ from platform to platform. While most platforms do not have a means to recover deleted messages, you can restore them from backups or from Archived messages and Trash.

In this read, we have compared Google Messages and Samsung Messages on design, interface, and features. Samsung Messages offers a more one-hand-friendly design and custom categories, while Google Messages has a more lively conversation screen. Both support RCS and smart suggestions, but Google Messages offers more AI features. We recommend Google Messages for its complete messaging experience and upcoming AI features.
In this guide, we have discussed how you can enable and apply the dark theme on the Google Messages app and web version. On mobile, you can turn on dark mode from Messages Settings using the Choose theme menu. For the web version, you need to go to settings and pick the dark option.
In this guide, we have provided two ways that can help you backup Google Messages. You can turn on Google's automatic backup from the settings app on your Android phone or you can use the third party app called Backup & Restore. This will help you backup messages and call logs for free. You can even create a local backup using the app.
The Google Messages app allows customization of chat bubble colors, although it's limited to individual conversations. This feature is only available for RCS chats. The web version of Google Messages doesn't support bubble color changes, but offers theme changes for readability.

Your Android phone, over time, could become a host for unwanted texts. Maybe it's a relentless telemarketer, a chatty ex, or just a case of mistaken identity. Whatever the reason, this guide will help you reclaim control of your inbox by blocking text messages.
Spam messages can range from promotional messages that are ads from businesses to phishing scams and contain malicious links. You can stop spam messages on Android through the Google Messages app while on iOS there is no way to block them so you can try and avoid them by filtering them to unknown sender list in Message settings.
If you are tired of constantly receiving spam texts then you can enable Spam protection which is a feature within the Google Messages app. You can report and block a particular sender, or you can disable RCS chats entirely if you want businesses to stop contacting you and sending in promotional messages.
Google is gearing up to integrate Gemini into Google Messages, and it reminds me of Google Allo days. Google Allo was a messaging app that debuted in September 2016 in which Google Assistant was also introduced. Google pulled the plug on Allo in 2019, and has now come full circle by creating a dedicated messaging platform for Android and introduce Gemini in it.
As per code strings spotted in the latest Google Messages beta app, the company is looking to lift a simple yet useful feature from competitors like Telegram and Instagram. You might soon be able to double tap on messages to react to them. This feature is still being developed and not available for use, so stay tuned for a stable rollout.
