The Google Messages app is pretty good. It's a little thing, but it's the only app that supports tapbacks from iOS -- so on the (many) group threads I'm on that have iPhone users, I can see loves/like reactions instead of a flood of texts that say "Jane Doe loved an image".

It's terrible. Every once in a while they decide to convince me that I really don't want to be sending an SMS but I want to use google's messenger of the month, that will inevitably be gone next month.

  Huh, it's never done that to me. How often does it happen?

    Every time it updates it asks me if I want to enable "messaging features" the next time it opens.

    Used to happen to push duo. I installed an sms app from fdroid after that.

+1 google messages. rcs support works well, the emoji reactions are good. the web ui for it is pretty alright. I use the quick responses and scheduled send from time to time. and it cleans up my 2fa codes automatically. Also, it now sends emoji reactions over sms which is a nice little graceful degredation from sms.

I also use the "messages for web" sync that Google Messages offer: https://messages.google.com/web/ https://messages.google.com/web/ Really convenient to be able to respond to texts without having to take out my phone.
