Old Pixel 3 with no SIM card, deleted eSIM, installed Google Fi app but with warning message "Google Fi not fully activated". After all, text messages arrive on Google's servers, are stored there for the web app, and forwarded to your phone as normal text message. But if I don't have (or don't want) any text messages to back up, the feature could simply be switched on server side without the need of any specialized apps or OS lockouts. Sure, if I have an old phone with text messages that I want to back up to the Google servers during synchronization, I need to do that from the old text message app. However: the fact that the new "Sync messages with Google Messages" Fi feature needs to be activated from the Android Messages app - and not through a Google Fi web interface or from within the Google Fi app - is just stupid.
Finally my phone does not switch to Sprint automatically anymore - my Pixel 3 did this all the time and data speeds dropped down to zero with no way to prevent the switch / select a preferred network. The "Fi does not support 5G on iPhone and we don't care" shit aside, Google Fi is not well integrated with iPhones in general. I recently switched from a Pixel 3 to an iPhone 12 Pro. New versions of the app have also been updated to support Android 12's Material You theming.but it needs to be activated through Android. Google Messages is free to download and use. Some notable additions over the past months include Ai-powered messaging sorting, auto OTP deletion, and the ability to star important conversations. Google regularly adds new features and improvements to the app. Moreover, you get the power of Google Assistant right in your texting app.
You can also send group texts, emojis, GIFs, stickers, videos, and audio messages using the app.
Additionally, there are basic theming options, search support, spam protection, and a lot more. The Google Messages app packs support for sending text messages via your computer or pretty much any device that has a browser. And it's also available for your Wear OS smartwatch. It comes pre-installed on Google's Pixel series and select other phones, but other Android users can download it from Google Play. Previously known as Android Messages, the Messages app from Google is the company’s official app for texting and RCS messages.
