Messages: SMS Messaging App

1. Install the app, open it, and set it as your default SMS app when prompted, then grant contacts, phone, and storage permissions. 2. Tap Compose, choose one or more contacts, type your message, and send SMS or attach photos and files for MMS. Create group threads for team chats. 3. Organize your inbox by pinning key threads, archiving non-urgent chats, using powerful search, and enabling spam filtering to block junk texts. 4. Boost productivity by scheduling messages for later, creating reusable templates, and setting follow-up reminders on important conversations. 5. Enhance privacy and control by enabling passcode or biometric lock, customizing notifications per contact, setting auto-replies, and turning on backup and restore for message safety.
