New Update to Google Messages

Still using text messages in the age of IMs then you should know that there is a new update coming to Google Messages. Many people who still use texting might feel the lack of important yet nifty little tricks that you get in modern messaging app counterparts.

Such as highlighting and pinning important chats. Features that are never available to the humble SMS and text services provided by our local carriers. People have been sending messages, either plain text or rich ones, almost non-stop for years. Our messaging apps are probably filled with messages, some of them dating back years in the past.

New Update to Google Messages

The most tricky bit that a normal person faces when using the texting apps is the ability to search and look up old messages. But the latest update to the Google messages might take care of that with a new feature called pinned messages.

XDA discovered pieces of text in the Google Messages APK that suggest such features are finally coming to the latest form of Google’s messaging platform. One feature will let users pin up to three messages to the top of the app for quick access to important ones.

Starred messages, on the other hand, just mark certain messages as special. They won’t rise to the top of the list but they might be easily found with Search filters. Either way, it will ease some of the pain involved in scrolling through dozens of messages.

The question now is when the features will finally land. We will just have to wait and watch. While depending on XDA developers word that the new update to the Google messages app is just around the corner and will make our life easier and more manageable than it was ever before when we talk about messaging and apps.
