While Messenger is the best all-around SMS/MMS choice, Google's four apps offer similar enough tools that it can be confusing to figure out which is the right one for your needs. Google's confusing collection of messaging apps: Messenger joins Google's three other messaging apps: Allo (which combines an intelligent chat assistant with the promise of mobile end-to-end encryption), Hangouts (for enterprise individuals and groups), and Duo (a person-to-person video-chat mobile app). You also have the ability to archive and delete individual messages. Set contact options: You can set notification sounds and contact colors for different people, and you can block individual numbers. More than texting: Tap the Attach + button in the text field to access: a collection of stickers, your phone's camera for snapping a picture or capturing a video, your photo library to share one, your phone's mic to make a voice recording, and Google Maps for sending your current location or someplace near. Quick access to contacts: On the main screen, tap the + button to access a list of top contacts, or use the search field to enter a name, phone number, or email to find the person you're hunting for. Google Messenger handles SMS and MMS messages with ease, and it also hooks into your phone's services so you can easily share photos, videos, voice recordings, and your location with the people you're chatting with.
