Now that Google has supplied us with a new Messenger app, who is using it and who is sticking with Hangouts?
I have switched to Messenger. The reason for me is that Hangouts was acting a little glitchy, and it seemed to happen when I had a lot of texts in a conversation (like with my wife). I like the feature in Messenger that you can take a picture and the viewfinder is within the screen, but what I don't like about that is that I can't take a portrait-oriented picture. The camera also doesn't focus as well with it, so half the time I end up taking a picture with the camera app and attaching it separately. Also, I've noticed that with Marshmallow, Hangouts is not making notification noises. When it does, it cuts it off severely. I'm not sure if that's Light Manager not getting along with it or a Hangouts issue, but Messenger seems to work just fine.
What do you all think?
