Google Messages bringing an option to disable expressive animations

Google Messages is preparing to introduce a new option that lets users turn off ‘expressive animations’ within the app. This feature will provide more control over animated reactions and screen effects.

The upcoming update of the Google Messages app with version 20240422_01_RC00 will introduce a new option named “Show expressive animations. This toggle allows users to enable or disable animations.

At present, users who prefer not to see animations can remove them across all apps on Android by opening Settings >> Accessibility>> COlor and motion >> Remove animation. The upcoming in-app setting is a more specific solution.

This feature addresses concerns from users who find the animations, especially those linked to frequently used emojis and phrases.

The anticipated setting may alter how Animated Emoji functions, but it is not expected to affect Photomoji. This feature has not yet been publicly available.
