Preinstalled on android, Easy to use, has dark mode, message for web
The default app develops serious speed issues when you have too many messages.
I am happy with the app on my mobile phone. However, the "messages for web" feature, which allows one to read and send messages from a computer web browser and which is very important to me, requires constant re-connection via scanning a QR code on the computer screen from within the phone app. Quite frequently the result of attempting to reconnect like this is, "Something went wrong. Try again in a few minutes." Unfortunately waiting a few minutes rarely is sufficient and I have been unable to determine what actions ARE sufficient to get this working again. This has been an outstanding issue for the last six months on Google's support site with no adequate response from Google in that time.
Google Messenger is an excellent replacement for the default SMS messenger that comes with the Motorolla Moto-E.
