Google Messages is rolling out new privacy options for its Profile Discovery feature. Users can now choose who sees their name and picture.
Love it or hate it, Google Messages is here to stay
Oh you sweet summer child…
Have they…have they ever used a Google product? I dunno, like google’s old SMS app, or Allo, or Hangouts, or Talk… There will be a new Google messaging app to conflict with Google Messages in no time. Probably also called Messages, or farquad fandango turtle trumpet, or whatever other goofy name they come up with.
Right after a new feature is also perfect time for it to get axed

You skipped the step where you need to first aquire a pixel phone
Yeah, it’s the real barrier to graphene for me. Pixels kinda suck as a primary device.
Why?
Giving money to google is the barrier for me.
Refurbished phone?
No expandable memory, that’s the unforgivable sin.
But the form factor is unwieldy, no headphone jack, software dependent cameras, meh battery life, barely acceptable actual call quality as regards voice clarity, mid tier audio as regards music.
Now, the rest of the hardware isn’t bad on any given model compared to similarly priced phones. They use good glass, the radios all work well, and the processors are usually good picks.
I haven’t had a chance to fuck around with every model year. But they have consistently been a disappointment with call quality on the ones I’ve used, and the ones other people have used that I spoke to over a phone. That’s pretty damn bad by itself. Not so bad as to be unusable, but we’re talking having to pay attention closely in the worst cases.
