No SMS is not dead
There was a time not so long ago when SMS was the only communication link in writing with the whole world. The arrival of instant messaging applications such as WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger has gradually made good text messages old-fashioned.
It must be said that these services offer many advantages to their subscribers. One can for example send messages or photos to friends all over the world without fear of the off-plan..
And then unlike the old SMS protocol, the user is no longer dependent on the network of his mobile operator. If you do not receive in your apartment, no need to go down to the bottom of your building or go out into the garden to check your mailbox . A simple Wi-Fi connection allows you to send and receive messages anywhere in the world.
And yet we must not bury the SMS as quickly. Many owners of Android smartphones continue to send text messages..
Google Messenger
To make SMS management more user-friendly, Google had the good idea to assign a specific color to each of your conversations. This choice is a matter of chance. An algorithm randomly colors the speech bubbles . As you know, chance does not always do things very well.
Google Messenger gives you the ability to customize the interface of your messages inbox. Thanks to a very simple function you will be able to choose a color for each of your contacts. You can choose from 34 different shades.
