    I just looked, and you’re absolutely right. I had no idea that the Messages app wasn’t part of the AOSP. Very interesting (and not in a good way)

      Google integrates its own services in both the phone and messaging apps: namely spam reporting and blocking. I’m guessing that other major brands also have services to that end.

      Google’s ‘Messages’ also has a button to make a video call, and I dunno even what app and protocol would be used for that, as I never used video calls and don’t have any Google apps for that functionality.

        Looks like it delegates to Meet, for me.

        Yeah, honestly, spam reporting is good. Call screen is amazing. I would be loath to give it up.
