Google Messages is testing new animations that show up when you react with emojis\u060c<\/p>\n

\n

Google Messages has received a steady stream of new features this month, and the latest update adds a little more style to your conversations. Following the addition of animated emoji earlier this year, the Google Messages app is now also experimenting with animated emoji reactions.<\/p>\n

This feature is currently hidden in the Google Messages beta (version messages.android_20231121_01_RCOO.phone.openbeta_dynamic) and has been enabled by AssembleDebug from TheSpAndroid<\/a> by tinkering with some flags, suggesting that while it’s not yet rolling out to everyone, it could start showing up for users as soon as the feature appears complete. These reactions are very similar to those currently present in Telegram for its premium users, which bring a little more life and style to otherwise static interactions.<\/div>\n

In Google’s implementation, when you react to a message with certain emojis, you’ll see colorful animations that burst across the screen and highlight the message you’re reacting to \u2013 like floating exclamation points, flames, inflatable men, an umbrella, etc. These reactions are currently limited to a few select emojis, but we hope Google expands the list in the future. You can see an example of how these animations work when you react using emoji in the video<\/a> below:<\/p>\n

Adding animated emoji reactions is just one of many new features Google has introduced to Messages this month. The app<\/a> also received noise cancellation for voice calls, text formatting options, and a revamped chat profile and UI. These updates are part of Google’s ongoing efforts to make Rich Communication Services (RCS) the standard in messaging, even encouraging Apple to join the RCS conversation.<\/p>\n

As Google continues to add new features to Messages, the app becomes more and more feature-rich and user-friendly. The addition of animated emoji reactions is a welcome addition that adds a little more fun and personality to your conversations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
