Google Messages now alerts users before logging out

When a user switches or logs out of an account, Google Messages will notify them so they are aware of any potential feature loss. Assemble Debug, a tipster, discovered the upgrade, which includes a warning about losing features like Device Pairing and Magic Compose. In addition, users have the option to disable profile discovery, which restricts visibility to contacts associated with their phone number on Google.

Meanwhile, currently, sending an image from your gallery in Google Messages follows a straightforward process: tap the image attachment icon, select your desired photo, and send it. The app conveniently offers a built-in camera shortcut for capturing photos instantly. However, for users in a hurry, the process could be more streamlined. Each new photo necessitates reopening the attachment sheet, diminishing the time-saving advantage of the in-app camera feature.

As noted by the same leakster Assemble Debug, as spotted by Android Police, the most recent Google Messages beta (version 20240318 openbeta_dynamic) introduces a UI overhaul aimed at expediting image sharing feature.

Notably, the preview screen of freshly captured photos undergoes the most significant change. The button at the bottom right now displays "Send," eliminating an additional step for single images. Additionally, a new "Add more" shortcut appears at the bottom left, allowing users to swiftly reopen the attachment sheet for additional selections or to utilise the camera again. This approach proves far simpler than saving to camera roll.
