Google Messages Obtains Major New Enhancements

Google Messages is poised to launch new functionalities that improve user interaction on both smartphones and Wear OS gadgets. Users will soon have the ability to select certain segments of a text message for copying, rather than having to copy the complete message, thanks to a new inline text selection feature currently in beta testing. This resolves a long-held concern where users needed to manually shorten copied messages to retrieve specific details, such as OTPs. Furthermore, Google is introducing a ‘Mark as read’ feature for Messages notifications on Wear OS. This allows users to mark messages as read directly from the notification, enhancing message management on wearable devices. These updates demonstrate Google’s continuous commitment to enhancing the capability and user-friendliness of its messaging app as RCS adoption increases.
