because they made google messenger years ago

I'm convinced Google consists of two software teams right now. One devoted to making as many new messaging apps as possible, and the other devoted to removing as many features from existing products as possible.
Just get an iPhone and use iMessage. Bypass google's shitpile and use something that justwerks.

good, I don't use sms in hangouts. Since I work in the basement of the building I"m in sms is pretty much useless for texting. Plus I use hangouts extension in my multiple PC's and can type messages to my friends instead of being limited to just my phone.
Goodbye sms! I will not miss you, finally my message window will be decluttered.
