Google officially revealed a lot of details about the new Android 5.0 operating system on Wednesday but it missed to elaborate on two key features – new messaging app & factory-reset protection (kill switch).
According to a report in Android Police, Google has re-introduced a standalone messaging app in Android 5.0, which was earlier replaced with Hangouts in Android 4.4 (in at least Nexus devices). Not many details are available about the app at this point but it looks your normal SMS/ MMS application with a brand new Material Design user-interface.
In a statement, Google told Android Police that the new messaging app will not be replacing Hangouts and will just complement it.
“Messenger and Hangouts offer users choice, each have their own benefits. Hangouts work great for cross platform (web, iOS, Android) and cross medium communications (video, voice,messaging, SMS). Messenger will be specially designed to be a quick and easy way to send and receive SMS and MMS messages on Android; more to come (Nexus 6 will come with both apps),” Google noted in the statement.
