Google Messages has been busy adding new features this month, and the latest update brings some flair to your conversations. The app is experimenting with animated emoji reactions, currently hidden in Google Messages beta. These reactions are similar to the ones in Telegram for its premium users, adding life and flair to interactions. When you react to a message with certain emojis, colorful animations burst on the screen, highlighting the message you are reacting to.
This is just one of several new features introduced to Messages this month. The app has also received noise cancellation for voice calls, text formatting options, and a revamped profile and chat UI. These updates are part of Google’s efforts to push Rich Communication Services (RCS) as the standard for messaging.
As Google continues to add new features to Messages, the app is becoming more feature-rich and user-friendly. The addition of animated emoji reactions is a welcome addition, adding fun and personality to conversations.
