Google Messages Update Improves Previews for Links and YouTube Videos


Google is improving its Messages app by launching a revamped design for link previews, focusing on content while hiding lengthy URLs. The new previews now include larger site titles and thumbnails, leaving out complete URLs and descriptions. This adjustment leads to a tidier, more streamlined look, similar to Google Discover cards, but sacrifices some details about the link prior to clicking. Users can access the full URL by copying it or by turning off link previews in the app settings. This update is presently accessible in the beta version and is anticipated to be released more widely soon.
