The application of Google Messages soon will stop working on all those Android devices that are not certified by Google itself . That will leave out smartphones like Huawei, affected by the US veto and that cannot have Google services or certifications.

In version 7.2. 90 of the application a text string has been found that warns that as of 31 of March, the Messages app will stop working on non-certified devices.

From the 31 March, Google Messages would stop working on non-certified Android phones

It seems that the reason behind this decision would be to guarantee the security of communications, since Google plans to add point-to-point encryption to its application in order to be able to match other messaging applications that already exist with this system, something that may not be easy to verify in a non-certified terminal. Even so, other applications such as Telegram do maintain that extra layer of security without depending on Google’s certification.

We will have to wait for Google to pronounce on the matter to see if this measure finally takes place. applies.
