Apparently Google responded and then deleted my review. I like the addition of reactions. Doesn't work with Android Auto, yet the app it replaced, Hangouts, did and still does. The video upload feature seems to take quite a while. Photos and videos do seem to upload at a better quality, though you can't upload more than one photo at a time. Not sure what this app was designed to solve for. Why sunset something like Hangouts which originally could hold all messages from Google Voice as well.
