  They're all exactly the same and haven't changed appreciably in 10 years.

    I just upgraded from an 8-year-old Samsung Galaxy S (jumping from Android 2.1 to 7), there's been a lot. Off the top of my head: * The difference between SMS and MMS is much more hidden from users * Group messages (where everyone is communicating with everyone in the same conversation, not a mass-text) * Not only did stickers not exist, graphical emoji didn't exist except in third-party messaging apps * More web integration, like being able to search for an image and send that * Google Pay integration, apparently I can send and request money

  @tuxracer posted a comment here to use Signal.org which looks great for privacy so I made the switch
