Google Messages is the official Google app for messaging. Google Messages allows you to text with Rich Communication Services (RCS) with fallback to SMS/MMS, which allows you to seamlessly connect to other RCS users -- no matter what device they use. Get more done in your messages with one-tap calendar reminders, emoji replies, and spam protection. End-to-end encryption is on by default when you message other Google Messages users who have RCS enabled.

Know when friends are typing or when they've read your message, share high-resolution images and videos, easily add people to a group chat, and experience an all-around richer messaging experience.

End-to-end encryption is on by default between Google Messages users who have RCS enabled and secures your eligible communications, so no one (including Google and third parties) can read or view your messages and attachments except the person you’re messaging.

If a website is suspicious or unsafe, you’ll be warned before clicking any links. You can also block and report potential spammers to help stop unwanted and fraudulent messages.

Share high-resolution videos directly from your Google Photos library.

Keep the conversation going no matter what device you're on. Enjoy RCS chats with friends on your phone, computer, Android tablet, or smart watch with the Messages app.

Access suggested replies, one-tap calendar reminders, link sharing, and more without leaving your message. Reply quicker and get more out of your conversations with smart actions.

Suggested responses, gifs, and emojis make conversations faster and more fun. Reply back to messages with just a tap and keep the conversation going.

App also available on Wear OS.

Availability of RCS varies by region and carrier and a data plan may be required. Availability of features varies by market and device. Sign up for beta testing.
