Google Messages bringing new blocking feature to group chats

Google Messages is releasing a new beta update, introducing a new blocking feature to improve user privacy. This update allows users to avoid seeing messages from blocked contacts in group chats for a better experience.

Previously, if you blocked someone, their messages would still be visible in group chats. According to the information via AndroidAuthority, the new feature changes this by hiding these messages to ensure a more private chat experience.

Once you block an individual, their messages will no longer mess up your group chat view. However, it’s important to note that while you won’t see messages from blocked individuals, they can still see yours in the group chat.

When the new Blocking feature is in use, Google Messages will alert you with a notification if messages from a blocked contact are hidden in group chats. This ensures you’re aware of why certain messages may not be appearing in group chats.
