Able to set multiple messaging apps on Charge 5

I think it would really be helpful as a lot of us use Whatsapp or Telegram (both and sometimes more!) as our default messaging service we still get text messages through or phones for doc appts and other delivery services like Hermes or DPD or people who still go old school and text, so it would be good to have multiple messaging services allowed.

It really would.  My Garmin can receive messages from Whatsapp, Messenger and SMS, so it's obviously possible for it to be done.  It would be a really useful feature.  Currently, I have it set to Whatsapp as that's what I normally use, but, as you say, the delivery companies, my hairdresser etc still use SMS and I'd like to receive notifications from it too.
