I honestly had no idea that this existed. Messages is also useless until Google and Apple get their s*** together and figure out a cross plattform standard to communicate. Until then, I use third party apps.

I gave up once Wave was killed. It was the best of them.
Wave was so cool. haha
I wrote about this last year because google keeps wanting to blame others for its own messaging failures.
That was a good read, thanks.
I always used to use Hangouts as my default chat app for friends. We had a big DnD group chat on it. But we migrated to WhatsApp when Google said they were going to kill hangouts and never looked back.
Why would I trust Google with my chats when they constantly abandon/kill off their best tools. We've now moved to Signal and I'm expecting to stay there for a long time.
Have you tried Telegram? I've slowly been moving over to it more and more with my contacts, and I find it's a much nicer experience than WA. Especially with handling files and attachments, which I could see being useful in D&D.
Agree. My group is on Telegram, and we love it. Excellent features, and the dev team is great.
