Good news for users ofGoogleMessages and bad news for the makers of rival messaging services, such as WhatsApp, comes courtesy of newly discovered code that points to Google’s messaging service getting some exciting new features.
What new features are coming to Google Messages?
And there’s also indications of a new gallery view that’ll make it much easier to find the image or images you want to send in a conversation.
The code doesn’t indicate when these features will go live (or how long they’ve been in there), but I’d expect some updates around the time of theGoogle Pixel 7launch. That’s scheduled for 6 October and it’d be the perfect time for Google to make an announcement of better messaging – although that said, Google’s been on a constant upgrade cycle all year with all kinds of improvements to its core apps, so the update might even sneak out before then. Either way, it won’t be long before Google Messages gets even better.
