Google Messages cool animated background “Screen Effects” now available to the app’s beta testers،

A new feature has been added to Google Messages that really drives home the point you're trying to make with a text message. Called Screen Effects, it features a background animation of a message when certain phrases are sent or received. The animation takes up the entire background, and while the feature only has a small number of trigger phrases at the moment, you can only see it in action if you're a beta tester of the app Google Messages.

Luckily, I'm a Google Messages beta tester, so the screen effects work for me. For example, I sent the phrase “I love you” and hearts appeared in the background until a dove flew north, leaving a white trail that became the background. usual plan of the application. The entire animated effect lasted about 10 seconds. If you type “Looks good,” several giant thumbs-up appear everywhere in the background.
Google says there are more than 15 phrases that trigger a screen effect on Google Messages and that they work whether you're sending a message to another RCS user using Android or to an Android user logged into the platform SMS using a non-RCS messaging app. If screen effects are too much for you (and, admittedly, they're not for everyone), we'd be happy to walk you through how to turn them off in the app. Except you can't turn the feature off.

If Google is still accepting users as beta testers for Google Messages, go to the Google Messages app's Play Store listing, choose “Become a tester” and follow the instructions. Back when I used Android as my daily driver 99% of the time, I made sure to become a beta tester for major Google apps because you're sure to have a head start on receiving new features such as screen effects.

The Play Store listing for Google Messages will also tell you if you're already a beta tester of the app. On the list, if you are already registered as a beta tester for Google Messages, you will see a paragraph with the title “You are a beta tester”.
