Google Messages bringing back single-line text field design
Google has released a new update for its Messages app, reverting to a simpler single-line design for the text entry field. Users preferred a less cluttered interface, which led Google to make the change.
The fresh update of Google Messages update changes the previous double-line format that was introduced earlier this year. The original design, which featured a second row for quick access to emojis, the gallery, and other functions, has been modified.
Now, when users begin to type a message, the interface will show only the emoji and ‘plus’ icons, reducing on-screen clutter and animations.
Some users have noted that the new design results in a narrower text field, which could impact usability. However, the limit of four lines of text before scrolling is required remains unchanged.
The updated single-line text field design is currently being tested in the Google Messages beta version 20240506_04_RC00. Through this, the company aims to provide a better user experience.
