What are the best messaging apps for Android?

Pros

Pro
Lots of great features

It contains a wallet for money transfer, news update & sports update feature.

Pro
Without data media sharing option within 100m

Pro
Great sticker system

A very fast sticker suggestion based on key words typed. This helps to send relevant stickers quickly. Also when we press upon a sticker it opens a quick reply sticker option.

Pro
Night-mode

Hike has an app theme & auto night mode(8pm-6am) inside to reduce strain on eye while texting at night.

Pro
Has a timeline

It has a timeline(photo + text), which is similar to BBM.

Pro
Photo editing feature

It has a selfie edit feature like Instagram, helps with editing selfies for profile photos & photo statuses.

Cons

Con
Security of user information

First of all, this is closed source software. It also lacks-end-to-end encryption. In today's time, irrespective of every other feature, encryption is the most important one. Because without it, rest of the features become risky to use and thus meaningless.
