Google Messages Testing Cool New Features for Easier Texts

Google aims to enhance its Messages application through five new features. The new features will enable users to text more quickly while blocking spam messages and sharing improved photo quality. Let’s see what’s coming.

Bigger Text Box for Long Messages

Right now, Google Messages only lets you see four lines of text while typing. If you write a long message or paste a website link, you have to scroll to check it. Google is testing a bigger box that shows 14 lines at once. This means no more scrolling to fix mistakes in long texts.

Labels to Show Who Uses RCS

RCS is Google’s fancy texting tech that lets you send read receipts and high-quality photos. Soon, Messages might add a small “RCS” label next to contacts who use it. If someone doesn’t have RCS, you’ll know their texts might look blurry or lack cool features.

One-Tap Unsubscribe from Spam

Tired of spam texts from stores or services? Google is testing an “Unsubscribe” button at the bottom of these messages. Tap it, pick a reason like “Too many messages,” and Google will automatically send “STOP” to block them. You can also report spam with one click.

Easier-to-See Read Receipts

Read receipts (the checkmarks that show if someone saw your text) are getting a makeover. Instead of tiny icons under messages, they’ll appear inside chat bubbles with a white background. This makes them easier to spot without squinting.

Send Photos in Original Quality

Google might let you choose between sending photos fast (but lower quality) or keeping them sharp. Pick “Original quality” to share pics exactly as you took them. Great for birthdays, vacations, or showing off your latest art.

Why These Changes Matter

Google seeks to establish Messages as a messaging platform that competes with WhatsApp and iMessage. The improved messaging experience results from using larger text boxes together with high-definition photos. The labeling system and spam filters in Messages help users block unwanted messages. The testing phase of these features demonstrates Google’s commitment to enhancing your messaging experience.

How to Try Them Early

You can join Google’s beta program to test these features now. Go to the Play Store, search for Google Messages, and tap “Join Beta.” But remember, beta apps can be buggy. Wait for the official update if you want a stable experience.

These updated features would turn Google Messages into Android users’ primary messaging application. The updates planned for texting will deliver better functionality that will benefit users during their communication activities.
