Google inattentively remains to persuade it’s the future of messaging on Android. Whereas Apple intellectually seems not interested in adopting RCS on its iPhones, Google persistent throwing its ideas on the same. The company continues to add all sorts of advanced features to Messages, making it easier than ever to communicate with friends and families globally.
Here, we are going take a part in features in the three new tools coming to the app in the near future, including changes to voice memos, emoji reactions, and more. Although 9To5Google websites have already listed some enclosed features in very summarised ways thus, we should also start in the phase.
Voice message transcripts
With the new age of Google Messages, you can chat via RCS or SMS/MMS, you can record a voice memo to be sent to the other person, thanks to the included microphone button. Previously, even voice messages are a much great way to get your message across. Transcripts for voice memos, automatically translate your recorded messages into easy-to-read texts. This allows you to communicate with your contact when you are not in the condition or circumstances where you can listen to someone’s recorded message.
Transcripts can help when voice message audio isn’t clear or listening isn’t an option. Voice messages are transcribed only on your device and the transcript contents aren’t sent to Google. Manage anytime in settings.
Google Messages seems to get the transcripts mostly correct, even automatically placing punctuation, seemingly based on the speaker’s pauses and tone of voice. To be more helpful in those situations, Google Messages is preparing the option to transcribe incoming voice memos.
Full emoji reactions
In 2o2o, starting with a set of seven reaction emoji that loosely matches what Apple offers in iMessage, Google Messages released the ability to react to messages. Since then, reactions in Google Message have remained relatively unchanged, with the biggest addition being the app’s ability to “translate” iMessage reactions to make them less annoying while texting your friends who have iPhones.
Google is now looking to make reactions a lot more dynamic for those chatting via RCS. Using the latest beta version of Google Messages, we found a work-in-progress feature that allows you to react with any emoji. In the new design, the thumbs-down emoji is replaced with an icon that conveys “add emoji.”
Revamped gallery view
The app offers you a horizontally scrolling grid of your recent images presently. And the screenshots to potentially attach to your message, along with the option to take a photo on the fly. Google Messages may also be getting a redesign for its photo gallery view.
You can now scroll vertically through your photos, even using more of the screen as you scroll, for a less cramped experience. In the place of the old “Gallery” button, an option for “Folders” offers essentially the same experience. Google Messages’ photo gallery redesigns much. Particularly its floating action buttons in the corner — fits in quite nicely with Material You.
Concluding lines…
You might hear that things appear beautiful from afar, as of now we cannot say where the features would be available for us in Google Messages because there is no news reported yet. But we expect it soon in some way, whether they’ll come through as a software patch or require a server-side update. Therefore, stay connected with us for more news, updates, and other information via @Samnews24…
