Google Messaging app undergoes significant design alterations: A rundown of the modifications made
Say hey to the revamped Google Messages! 📱😎
The landscape nightmare is over! Google's been listening to our complaints about their messaging app's landscape layout and is finally doing something about it. Time to bid farewell to the unsettling imbalance, people!
Bye-bye to the Twitterverse drama...
Let's talk about the key changes happening to Google Messages:
Revved-up Landscape Mode
📱💻
Google's old landscape mode gave users a not-so-great experience, making one side of the screen look emptier than the other when turning their phones sideways. But don't worry; they're playing catch-up by rebalancing the layout for a smoother user experience.
More Features for the Win!
💥🌟
Aside from the overdue landscape mode improvements, Google Messages is also rolling out some exciting new features for its beta version:
- Changed space-sharing: Google Messages' new UI tweaks how the message list and chat screen share space, giving you a more user-friendly interface[2][4].
- PDF Preview: Get ready for a sneak peek at PDFs directly on your chat screen! Though, privacy concerns might prevent this feature for protected PDFs[2][3][4].
- Edited Action Buttons: Now, action buttons like call, video, and contact details come with handy text labels, helping newbies navigate the app with ease[2][4].
These updates are like a breath of fresh air, refreshing the app's look and making it easier to use. And we can all agree that's a welcome change!
