Although RCS, in itself, makes Google Messages stand out from other messaging apps already, it’s nice to see Google adding new features every now and then to extend the app’s functionality even further.Īlongside the headlining features listed above, the Messages app also gets a couple of additions. Google’s addition of new features is aimed at making Messages powerful and staying ahead of the competition. Making Messages Powerful to Stay Ahead of the Competition Not only does this offer a more private and secure communication experience, but it also lets you view all your messages in one place, which you can come back to when you need them later. Chat with BusinessesĬhat with Businesses is a new feature in Messages that lets you chat directly with businesses you find on Search and Maps inside Messages.
So now, when you receive a message that contains a link to a YouTube video, you can tap this link to watch the video right inside Messages and also respond to it without leaving the app. Google is bringing the ability to play YouTube videos inside the Messages app. Play YouTube Videos in Messages IMAGE: Google Similarly, if a message contains text like “Let’s meet at 6 pm on Tuesday” to catch up, Messages will suggest adding a calendar event for the same so you don’t forget about it. It will show you the Meet icon next to the message, which you can tap to start a video call.
With this idea, when you receive a text message from the other person to get on a video call, like “Can you talk now?”, Messages will now recognize it and suggest a Meet call. Quick Video CallsĪt times texting can feel impersonal and detached, and hopping onto a video call may seem like a better mode to communicate with the other person. You can then choose to either ignore it or star it to make the message easier to find later. Messages makes this possible by suggesting you star a message whenever there’s one containing an address, phone number, or door code.

But with the latest update to Google Messages, you can now star important messages to find them later quickly and easily. Until now, if you wanted to find a message in a conversation, you had to look it up manually using search. Star Messages You’ll Need Later IMAGE: Google

Voice Message Transcription will be available on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 6 series, along with Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series and the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It uses machine learning to transcribe the incoming audio message into text, so you can view its content-just like a regular message-without having to play the audio. Keeping this in mind, Google has added the Voice Message Transcription feature in Messages that helps you transcribe voice messages into text.
However, you can’t always use voice messages for communication if you’re in a crowded place or a meeting, you’re better off texting. Voice messages offer a more emotive way to communicate with others and help you convey your message clearly and effectively. Voice Message Transcription IMAGE: Google
Basically, with this new feature, you can set a reminder to remind yourself to call someone or schedule an appointment.Īdditionally, Google Messages will also intelligently pick up events like birthdays or anniversaries you’ve assigned to your contacts and remind you to wish them when you open the Messages app. Google is bringing reminders in Messages to help you remember important upcoming events in your calendar. Once the feature is available, if you receive a message from an iPhone user-as an SMS-you can respond to it using emojis. Now, taking this a step further, Google is adding the ability to respond to SMS messages from iPhone users via reactions. With this update, whenever an iPhone user reacts to your message, rather than alerting you about the same in the form of text, Messages now grabs the reaction, understands it, and adds an appropriate emoji reaction that matches the exact sense of the reaction. As part of a Messages update earlier this year, Google introduced the ability to interpret reactions from iPhone users.
