It's fine as a messaging app I guess. Rated 1 stars to bring attention to the following issue: I have a Punkt MP-02 minimalist smartphone that I use as a low-tech daily driver to limit my screen time. It looks like a calculator and intentionally has minimal features. That being the case, it would be ideal to pair with the desktop version of Messages to occasionally use more advanced features and media sharing abilities that my phone doesn't have. However, this phone doesn't have a camera and is unable to scan the QR code to link to my PC. For years, Messages has only allowed devices to connect to one another via QR code, despite many different situations (not just my missing camera) where people are unable to link their phones and computers. For instance, anyone working in phone-restricted secure areas are also unable to link devices if they can't bring their phone to their workstation. As a non-tech worker, I can think of a half-dozen different ways you could securely connect two devices aside from scanning a QR code, so I'm sure it's well within Google's ability and budget to come up with a workaround for this, but seeing 3-4 year old complaints about this exact issue indicates that they have little to no interest in looking into making it easier for those of us in slightly irregular situations. I know I'm going to get Google's auto-response "Hi there. We're sorry to hear that" (you aren't really) that directs me to their troubleshooting site. It's not there, I already looked. It'll also tell me I can leave feedback by clicking the three dot menu on the app. I don't have a true smart phone, I cannot. I am leaving you the feedback here although I'm sure it won't do any good. Thanks!
