- Google messages is bringing new design updates to your user interface
- These include a preview function in PDF and an improved landscape mode
- We could also obtain a ‘cancel subscription’ function for spam messages
It seems that Google has been working to improve the user interface of its platforms. You have just given its TV Smart application of YouTube a great update, and now it seems that your Google messages is also receiving very necessary attention. Although the future of Gemini’s integration with Google’s messages is still a mystery, Google has added even more updates not related to AI to its messaging application.
After a series of tests for useful updates, Google has introduced four more IU changes, which have been seen by Android Authority. Three of these have appeared in an APK disassembly and the fourth is already available in the latest beta version.
These changes in Google messages not only offer an aesthetic impulse, but also provide so long -awaited answers to the questions that users have been doing for a while, and could improve their visual navigation of the Google messages.
1. A more balanced landscape mode
The first of the four updates is a small adjustment to the landscape mode in Google messages. For a long time, users have discovered that Google messages can be a bit deactivated when they are inclined and used in landscape mode, with the chat screen width much larger than the width of the messages list.
This is one of the changes that Android Authority saw in its disassembly. He reveals that Google could solve this in the near future, by making both sides of the screen.
2. Previous views for PDF files in RCS messages
When it comes to seeing the media in RCS chats, shared URL videos and links, they come with a visual preview that shows the reader a brief fragment of the shared content without opening the file. But many users have noticed that this does not apply to shared PDF files in Google messages.
Android Authority has found an additional code that shows that this is another improvement that Google could be contributing to its message service, following the steps of messaging applications of competition such as WhatsApp, which already offers previous PDF views. However, Android Authority states that PDF files that require an access password will not have a preview.
3. A ‘Cancel Subscription’ button to avoid SMS and RCS spam
Less a design feature and more a new administration tool, 9TO5GOOGLE has seen that Google could be implementing a new characteristic of ‘non -subscription’ destined to stop unwanted SMS texts or RCS chats of commercial senders. This update appears in the most recent version of Google messages, and 9to5google notes to which it is applied:
- RCS for business messages in the United States, Brazil, France, Germany, India, Mexico, Spain and the United Kingdom.
- SMS or MMS messages in the United States from short codes (telephone numbers with 5-6 digits) and alphanumeric senders.
The new button has been seen on the text field at the bottom of the chats, and in the conversation overflow menu.
4. Changes to the main action buttons
The final update is a very minor change to Google messages and is now available in the latest beta version: Google has added text to its main call, video, contact information and search action buttons. We assume that this new incorporation is to provide visual help for users, which facilitates the distinction between these different functions.
