It appears that Google is about to make some changes to its Android Messages app to improve the overall user experience

The news comes from an APK breakdown by a well-known source named Assemble Debug via Android Authority, who discovered changes to the code of the current version of Google Messages The first change is a redesign of how chat bubbles appear, separating each message into ellipses that clearly define each new message Also, you will be able to tap on a person's profile picture to enlarge it, but you will not be able to use it as a profile picture for group chats

The next change is that the Google Messages app will now display the SIM card name of the device being used to send the message, making it easier to use for those with dual SIM phones Finally, Google is improving the GIF menu in the Messages app In the current version, users select a hashtag to find related GIFs, but the APK reveals that the new version will be divided into categories

Google has been working hard in recent months to improve its Messages application For example, it was recently reported that Google Messages will no longer compress images sent via RCS messaging Not only that, but Google appears to have implemented a feature that was well received in WhatsApp, the ability to edit messages that have already been sent

It is not only the messaging application that Google is working to fix, but it is also making changes to many of its services For example, Google recently released an update that allows users to sync passwords across devices and platforms Also, Google has integrated new smart replies created by Gemini AI into Gmail, which now appear in the iOS version

Google is always working to improve its services, and while the features found in the APK teardown may not necessarily appear on devices, they all seem fairly likely to be added soon
