Google Messages app brings camera shortcut to quickly take and send photos

Google Messages introduced some new features and changes to its interface last month. Now, Google brings a camera shortcut for the Messages app that lets you quickly take a photo and send it to any conversation.

The camera shortcut of the Google Messages app is located on the app bar, next to the search icon, and it opens your phone’s default camera app. After taking a photo, you can choose which conversation to send it to.

This feature is only available for some users right now, and it may be useful for those who want to share photos easily. The app bar still looks neat with only three icons, but adding more might make it messy.

Additionally, Google Messages is also testing even more new features including animated emoji, a voice recorder redesign, and Google Account integration for the web version. The app also removed the navigation drawer from the home screen and replaced it with a simpler design.

Through these new changes, Google aims to improve its messaging app and make it more convenient and fun for users.
