They really didn't have to redesign a text box. Please stop reinventing the wheel. I don't need another pop up in my life.

FOSS SMS > Google RCS

Or use signal like a civilized person.

Damn this sucks. What are they thinking? It's a horrible way to manage a text input

I just want them to fix scheduled messages for crying out loud.

Smart compose is there for me. It looks like this bar will have more icons depending on the context and maybe more in the future.

It boggles my mind how people in the US still use SMS.

I use it because it is more convenient than chat apps.

It's built-in and just works. It's also platform independent. I only use it for family though. I use chat apps for friends because they don't have my mobile number.

And SMS isn't WhatsApp which is a great thing. Not that I know anyone except my mother that uses it.

Btw, I'm not in the USA.

While I agree this is bad, do people still use messages? In my country everyone uses WhatsApp or Telegram.

The only time I open the messages app is to get OTPs or something.
