   If I click on the notification bubble, focus is on the latest text (next   
   to the input box to send a new message).  If I open the Messages app, I   
   can't be on which message has focus since the thread is usually short.   
   Been a while since I had a conversation with someone that accrued to   
   dozens, or more, messages.   
      
   I don't keep texts for very long.  They cleaned up AFTER whenever they   
   were read, and used (e.g., 2FA codes).  I did archive a long   
   conversation, but that was using the Google Voice app's messages   
   function.  Doesn't seem to be an archive function in Google Messages,   
   but there is in Google Voice.  When I revisited the archived   
   conversation, yep, it starts with focus on the latest (most recent)   
   message at the bottom of the list of messages.   
      
   Neither message client has a sort option nor a means of moving the   
   new-message input box to the top instead of at the bottom.
