google Messages Set for Exciting New Features
Google Messages is about to receive a notable update that many users will appreciate. The new feature allows users to mention others in group chats, similar to the @mention style used on platforms like Twitter, WhatsApp, and telegram. This addition makes it easier to grab someone's attention in busy conversations.
How the Mention Feature Works
According to a report from Android Authority, they explored the latest beta version of Google messages (v20250511) and discovered how this mention feature operates. Users can simply type “@” followed by the name of the person they want to address. An autocomplete function will then suggest names from current group chat members, making it quicker and simpler to mention someone.
When a message containing a mention is sent, that person's name will be highlighted for them. It’s expected that once this feature is fully launched, users will also receive notifications when they are mentioned in group chats.However, as noted by Android Authority, this notification system isn’t working yet in the beta version.
Additional Upcoming Features
In addition to mentions, Google Messages is set to introduce othre useful features soon. One such enhancement includes sending links or QR codes for inviting new participants into group chats easily. Another anticipated improvement allows users to snooze notifications for specific time periods.
Recently added features like ”Delete for everyone” have already modernized Google Messages considerably. These updates aim to meet user expectations and keep pace with other messaging apps available today.
Timeline for Release
at this point, there’s no official word from Google on when these features will exit beta testing and become available for all users of google Messages. Until an proclamation is made regarding their rollout schedule, interested users can look forward eagerly at what’s coming next.
With these enhancements on the horizon, Google Messages aims not only to improve user experience but also ensure it remains competitive among popular messaging platforms today.
