Google Messages made a smart move to reply faster
Google Messages is an app that lets you send and receive text messages on your phone. Back in 2019, Google brought a feature that helps you remember to reply to messages later. For that, you just need to set reminders for any message you want.
When you get a new message, you can see three options on the notification: Mark read, Remind 1 hour, and Reply. From these options, you can mark it as read if you don’t want to reply, or you can remind yourself to reply after an hour.
Google recently changed the order of these options. Now, the answer is on the right instead of in the middle of the notification. This makes it easier to tap Reply, since it’s closer to your thumb. But it also makes it hard to get used to the new order, as you might accidentally tap on the wrong option.
This change is not for everyone yet. This is only for some people who have the latest version of the app. Google is testing this change to see if people will like it or not.
