Update to Google Messenger will give you a new widget and GIF support

Google Messenger has received an update. The messaging app allows you to send/receive SMS and MMS messages to/from any phone. You can also send group texts. Videos, pictures and audio can be sent to people on your contacts list. And the app even lets you block others sending you unwanted SMS missives. This allows you to continue working or playing on your phone without getting interrupted.

The update to Google Messenger comes with the proverbial bug fixes and performance enhancements. It also comes with a new widget for the app which allows you to look at your conversations right on the front screen of your device. Think about how convenient that is. The update also brings support for animated GIFs right inside the app.

If you already have Google Messenger installed on your Android device, the update can be found in the Google Play Store under My apps. If you have yet to install Google Messenger, we can tell you that it is a free download from Google Play.
