Google Messages updates its home screen design for Android users
Google Messages has a new home screen design and the company is rolling out it to all users. The app now has a prominent Google logo and a search icon on the top bar. The navigation drawer has been replaced by a profile avatar that opens a menu with options like Archived, Spam & blocked, and Device pairing. You can also access app settings from there.
The search feature has been improved with a grid of categories to filter your messages. You can quickly find your Starred texts, Unread messages, Images, Videos, and more. You can also delete OTPs automatically after 24 hours from the settings.
However, the Message organization feature that grouped messages by All, Personal, and Business has been removed. Google wants to emphasize the RCS experience that it offers with this app.
The new home screen design has been in beta testing for months and is now available to stable users. Google has not officially announced it yet.
