  • Google has revealed a variety of new additions to its Messages app.
  • One feature lets you clip subjects from images to use them as reactions.
  • Other notable features include Voice Moods and full-screen animated effects.

Google Messages is the preloaded texting app on loads of Android phones around the world, and the company has delivered a few notable additions to the platform in 2023. Google isn’t stopping here, though, as it’s just announced several new features.

Google says these new Messages features will help you “connect and express yourself.” Perhaps the most prominent new addition is Photomojis. This is effectively Google’s take on Apple and Samsung’s image clipper functionality, automatically cutting a subject out of your photo. However, instead of turning the subject into a sticker, Google’s feature turns the subject into a reaction.
