Google's plan is to annoy you relentlessly until you update Messages (www.androidauthority.com)

There's a new Google Messages update page that takes up your phone's entire display every time you open the app.

Granted, keeping your apps up to date is important, and this new system will help get that across to users. But we’re not sure annoying the hell out of the user about it is the best strategy.

That's weird, isn't Google Play already updating apps without asking?

(QKSMS master race btw)

My understanding is that yes, you are correct, it's auto-updated in the background.

Not clicking that sketchy link. Also it makes no sense to quote an entire message like that.

What's sketchy about https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode.en ?

That isn't what they posted, they obscured the url with a bunch of garbage text. I'm not bothering to check the url when the text looks like that.

Well, feel free to click on this link then: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode.en

(it's just a link to Google homepage - the point is that you really shouldn't trust the link text lol)
