- Google messages will probably add the ability not to take into account messages in your next update
- Previously, users could only delete messages from their own device
- The function is still unpublished, without a fixed release date
Google Menses will soon allow you not to take into account messages for other people, instead of simply eliminating them from your own device, if a new feature that is in an upcoming update reaches its launch.
An APK disassembly from Android Authority discovered that users will soon receive two options when trying to eliminate a message, with the existing function “delete for me” united by “eliminating for everyone.”
Google messages is the Android stock messaging application, and as such can be found in all the best Android phones, from the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra to the Google Pixel 9 Pro to the OnePlus 13.
This new feature does not present is already common in modern messaging applications such as WhatsApp and within social media messaging services such as Instagram DMS. However, until now, deleting an RCS message in Google’s messages only eliminated it from the device itself: the recipient or the recipients could still see the message as originally sent.
It seems that Google’s version messages of this function will not be as silent as competition, unlike WhatsApp, Instagram and others, Google messages will actively notify the recipients that a message has been eliminated.
For our technical mentality readers, the new feature was found in the unpublished code for Google’s messages version 20250131_02_RC00. The non -prominent function has been specifically added in line with the universal profile RCS V2.7.
Google Messages has an outstanding place in the Android ecosystem, and recently became the default messaging application for Samsung Galaxy phones. As PhoneRerana points out, it is important that the Google messaging service maintains the characteristics that users expect as competition is concentrated more.
WhatsApp is still the most popular messaging service in the world, with more than two billion users worldwide, but Google messages is not far away: a 2023 Google blog post celebrated the application that approved one billion users enabled for RCS.
Like my colleagues in Techradar can I know how to attest, I know that the feeling of having a joke in a busy group chat, not hitting the landing. I am glad to see that Google messages is giving users the option of a second chance when they need it (even if they do it. They see a quite conspicuous ad).
And although it seems very likely to be launched with the next version of Google messages, the non -delivery function described remains unpublished without a fixed release date, so the details contained in this story could change over time.
