This feature allows to receive messages from others using applications which might not even be installed on your device e.g. your friend has google allo installed and you don't have it, he can still send you message and you will receive it as a notification. I believe this is a standard google feature available on Android MM and above devices and have nothing to do with messaging issue on z2.

Using Google Now to send Whatsapp chats?

Hello,
If you say "text mom where are you" it will correctly send an sms to the contact. Is there any way to make it send a whatsapp msg to the contact instead of an sms?
thanks
It would have to be coded into the WhatsApp messenger Since Google doesn't own WhatsApp, then I don't think there is a way as of now.
I'm not familiar with that application, but until Google opens the API for Google Now, it will continue to send through the default SMS application.
Hope this helps!
Unfortunately, Google said at I/O that they don't have any plans to add an API for 3rd party access to Google Now.

This is no longer true. As of Wunderlist's latest update (a third-party to-do app), users now have the option of saving notes to Google Keep OR Wunderlist's through Google Now/Search provided they are installed.

Hasn't crashed for 3 versions, the problem has always been a lib problem, for those that like to just push/copy file... Flash with right package, video works just perfect.

Market version if installed from Play Store shouldn't be crashing, the one users that have been tryign to push/install manually. has had issues.
In my experiance. I don't like to link to to others, becuase its rude to the OP. But you can flash mine (Inverted) and I have had no issues what so ever.
You are required to have newest Play Services as well...

GIF issue with Keyboard on Nougat 4.0.1

I updated to OOS 4.0.1 and since then I'm not able to use/send gifs on the keyboard while text messaging (see screenshot). I'm using Gboard and when I click on the gif key, it says "this text field does not support gif insertion from the keyboard". This is probably a nougat/keyboard issue rather than OOS but wondering if anyone else has seen this and how they fixed it. Googling did not return any working solutions.

It's probably a OnePlus Messages app bug/issue.
Post this bug in their OnePlus community forums.
I'm using Messenger app from Google, and I can send GIFs.
Try it and let me know.
UPDATE: Most likely, OnePlus Messages app doesn't support GIFs yet.
its only works on Allo and Google messenger (for me)

Thanks for the reply. The Messenger app works! I could not get gifs to work on the stock "Messages" app, Hangouts, WhatsApp or even Google search bar. They still don't work on those apps but as long as its working for texting on the Messenger app, I'm happy.

The app needs to be supported to send GIFs.
Google search bar (won't work for me), Hangouts (works using latest version v15) and I don't use WhatsApp.
Their (OnePlus) stock apps becoming better, but they need to concentrate on fixing bug and issues and not adding new apps to their OS.
The new Weather app is completely useless. It uses Accuweather data and doesn't go deep into detail on the weather. So, I deleted it and using Accuweather instead.
By the way, OOS v4.0.2 should come out next week. I've seen 2 posts about it.

Hi, whats the advantage to the built in Whatsapp App?
But for me personal, when it would show pictures i would buy it it think

You may scroll/read through old messages in various topics/persons - not only last notifications from Whatsapp.
And yes I am also waiting to: view pictures, hear/respond voice messages - which I use intensively ( I hate typing )
The only user feedback I can see is it didn't work dated Sep 2019. Anyone tried the latest update? Does it work now? Developer should let us have a free trial version first, i.e. trial and buy.
Works for me. However I'm wondering how our data is being transferred. It's a modified WhatsApp web interface. Is it being all formatted by the watch or going through the Devs server

Question Messages By Google Not working on EU rom

Does anyone know how to make messages by google work on EU roms? I'm on latest stable on poco f4 and I can't seem to make it work. I granted it as default aoo but it is not working. Can't even compose a message at all. I wanted to use this because it has spam blocking features and here in the Philippines we are bombarded by spam SMS everyday.
EU? I think the F4 was only sold in IX (global) variant. Google messages is working fine on mine.

I'm using the xiaomi.eu custom rom and they are using their base is china rom that uses MI dialer and messages.
1. Set mi messages as default sms app
2. Force stop and clear data google messages
3. Enable permission manually in settings before opening google messages(important)
4. Launch the google messages and set as default sms app

Thanks. It worked. I don't know why we need to follow this rigorous step to make it work.
