There used to be an option to organise chats based on categories, if they're personal chats or bank OTPs etc. They should bring that back.

Personally, I want Google to add the ability to edit RCS messages.

[Belljustin]

I’ve been an iPhone user since forever, but google is making it very tempting to try android.

[OmegaWolf]

Can't wait for the custom chat themes and animated emojis.

[starrlight]

When will it be fully customizable? Like adding a pic for the background in individual chats?

[murarirajan]

I've been testing out RCS with a couple of my friends and it's been nothing short of amazing!!! The UI is out of this world! I'm in India so no one uses iMessages or Messages for that matter.

Some features I hope to see are:
1. Edit and delete messages
2. Create categories in the app

I wanted the personal colorization to come back since it left when it was removed in the Pixel 2 lifecycle that feature should have never left.

[AquaStevae]

Why suddenly is there no way to change the background of the messaging window, or the color of the chat bubbles???? It used to be that I could easily add a custom background, instead of just black or white. Why oh why would Google delete that???? ALLOW PEOPLE TO CUSTOMIZE AS THEY LIKE We should be able to make the conversation bubbles any colors we want, and change their transparency. Give people the power of customizing. It's what the entire phone industry is about. We all customize our phones and every app to our own liking. Why is Google falling behind in this????

[egyecjj]

I'd really like them to let us categorize messages.

[cheddar]

I'm just glad Google finally settled on a single messaging app. For a while they had 3.

[waseemal]

Nice full screen reactions finally. Games being added would be cool too.

[piotr]

1:50 how to disable animated emojis???

[Proud.Mama.Melissa]

We need a fully customizable background (using a pic or wallpaper). Samsung messages has it and I know people that refuse to give that up

[kryptonian]

They took out one of the most important feature, there used to be options below the search bar which organised the messages accordingly, like personal which shows all ur contact messages then theres OTPS, Transactions, offers. I miss that feature

[BozQ]

5 out of the 7 features involve some form of emojis.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but these features, and the silly blue/green bubbles nonsense with iMessage is just frivolous.

I can live just fine with SMS if my life depended on it.

[heavenleigh]

What i think the greatest improvement to texting would be a return to messages that continue to try to send when we're out of cell signal until we're back in signal and the message is sent. Instead of instantly failing to send and it's having to remember to manually resnd the message when we return to signal. You know, like they way they always did before. Up until a few years ago.

[JousaCam]

I wasnt really using the messages app, but this is really getting me to use it and actually have been enjoying using it

[NateNakao]

I was a Pixel user from the Galaxy Nexus up to the Pixel 4 XL, after which I switched to Samsung. I know these features will eventually reach my S23 Ultra, but there are several things about the Pixel that I miss, and I'm feeling like I might go back when the Pixel 9 lineup comes out.

Jordan Appreciate the updates.Good Job.✌️💯

[MrChadLedford]

As a recent Apple convert, I legitemately enjoy Google Messages more than iMessage. Ecspecially when you factor in the scheduling features.
