- Strings and flags within Google Messages highlight upcoming features, such as camera effects for the internal Camera activity within the app.
- Flags also indicate that Google could be experimenting with removing the top contacts during search and deprioritizing drafts from the main chat screen.
Google Messages finds its way as the default texting app on plenty of flagship Android smartphones, thanks to Google’s GMS requirements. It is a good app, too, so most users don’t mind using it for daily communication. Regular Google Messages can look forward to more exciting features, such as potential camera effects and a cleaner overall look.
