Comment on Google Messages just flicked the switch on end-to-end encryption for all RCS and group chats

I’ll be honest, the UX/UI is kinda my one big gripe with it. It feels so amateurish. More so because the desktop app is very clearly just a website that requires me to run a Chromium to display it, which makes it look pretty bad, more so side-by-side with Unigram, a pretty damn impressive Telegram app.

But even the Android app barely checks the bare-minimum. Yeah it’s a messenger. Feels kinda laggy compared to Telegram and Messages, lacks any cool animations of neat UI design, lacks cool themes, nothing really. Now of course messengers don’t need any of that, but it just shows to highlight that it isn’t exactly a stellar product except in its austerity, and if it were about that I’d expect it to run significantly better and with less resource hunger than it does on either mobile or desktop.
