I don't get it. Are Google employees completely ignoring all the negative press their messaging apps get?
Everyone online agrees, that all these messaging apps that Google keeps pumping, just hurt each other.
Here is a list of every messaging app that Google has ever produced:
Was Google Fi actually ever a messaging app? It's a phone service now
Apparently there was/is a messaging service somewhere hidden in the core Fi service. I just copy pasted this list from someone else tho. No idea how accurate this is.
Believe it or not, I have not actually used all these services on the list lol
I’m pretty sure the employees working on it don’t have a say on it. Someone at the top decided to do it and they just have to pretend they believe on it because they have to be “team players”.
