With the recent release of Android 4.4, Google has fans cheering. However, even more exciting plans are expected in the next year.
1. Better SMS Apps
Up until now, Android developers have had to rely on workaround to create third-party apps for messaging because of how Google kept the API hidden. Chomp SMS and Handcent are among the popular options available in the Play Store, and now their developers will be able to use the official Android messaging API. This is good news for users who want to use something other than the stock messaging app without experiencing strange message errors. Plus, the release of the API means integrating Hangouts with SMS will work with third-party apps.
