- Google Menses is finally obtaining features of mentions, similar to whatsapp and telegram
- It was first seen in March, but Android Authority has made the function work
- Although it works for the most part, it is not ready for an official launch
Google messages has received some important updates in recent weeks, and the last aspect of being a new mentions function for group chats that would detect messages for WhatsApp and Telegram.
The speculation that Google was working in a mention function was promoted when the function was Seen in an APK disassembly by the Android authority in MarchAnd now another disassembly of the same output seems to have confirmed that it is in process.
Although Google has not confirmed that a mention function reaches the messages, Android Authority managed to enable the function and has taken a first glance.
Based on this new disassembly, the mentions function works very like the one we are familiar with WhatsApp, allowing you to get attention to any member in a group chat. When you enter the symbol @ in a chat, a list of members of the members will appear, and you can select the person you want to mention.
When sending a message that includes a mention, the person’s name will appear bold and highlighted, and other members in the group chat can touch the name to access their profile with DM and call shortcuts.
While Android Authority has the function in operation, he encountered some problems that suggest that Google still has some work to do in the function before it can be implemented.
The mentions in Google messages have a long way to go
The main problem that discovered that the exit discovered was that, although the mention function worked normally, the member that was mentioned in the text did not receive a notification on the other hand, as they would generally do with other messaging applications.
It seems, then, that the feature is still being tested in Beta, and there is no indications of when it will be implemented, but Google users have some new features to explore in the times.
More recently, Google Messages has been testing more new functions that will be launched soon, including a feature that allows you to join group chats through links and its long -awaited elimination option for all. “
