Hey Community!

 

The Android Messages app is getting an upgrade today!  This upgrade will allow for Rich Communication Services, which means an even more awesome texting experience.  Most Android models released after today will have the new Android Messages build in, however it will be available for download from the Play Store to all Android devices running 4.1 and 4.4 or higher. Note that the update is rolled out to devices in batches. You'll receive a notification to update it when it's available.

 

So, what’s changing exactly? Android Messages now has advanced features such as Typing Indicators, Deliver Receipts, Read Receipts, Group Messaging, and Photo/file/Location Sharing capabilities. Pretty cool eh?

 

Note: The advanced features only work from Messages to Messages, for now at least.

 

Check it out today! It’s pretty awesome.

 

Cheers!

Hey @tmatthews525

 

Thank you for confirming all this information.


Did you get a chance to do a factory reset of your phone to see if you can get a different result?

 

Let us know.

Hi,

I thought I would let you know my phone just stopped working with the enhanced messaging too. I have a fido galaxy s7. That is why i was reading this post with interest. The weird part is all of a sudden it started working. I did initially uninstall the messages app but at that point it still wasnt working. Hope you get it fixed but wanted to let you know it stopped working on my phone too after working for months.

No. It just started working on its own again.
