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 still (slightly) better than apps which force close when they’re not updated, and don’t allow you to do anything at all.

      What else is an app supposed to do if the server has been updated and is no longer compatible with the app version you are using?

        if that happens occasionally, it’s fine. I’ve seen apps which update every other week and do this bullshit.
