TL;DR
- We managed to activate a redesign of the Preferences display within the newest Google Messages beta.
- The redesign brings a cleaner look to Google Messages and aligns it properly with the lately leaked redesign of the Settings app in Android 16.
Google Messages is the first texting app on most Android flagships lately, so we recognize the common updates and have additions that Google has in thoughts for the app. Google has been refreshing varied elements of the Messages expertise, aligning it with a extra fashionable aesthetic. Quickly, Google might refresh the Preferences menu inside Google Messages and convey it in step with what you see elsewhere in Android 16.
An APK teardown helps predict options that will arrive on a service sooner or later primarily based on work-in-progress code. Nonetheless, it’s attainable that such predicted options could not make it to a public launch.
Listed below are some screenshots of the redesign in darkish mode:
For reference, that is what the preferences menu in Google Messages seems like at the moment:
The newer UI seems contemporary and far cleaner, because the dividing strains within the present UI seem like a remnant of the ICS period of Android, so I’m glad Google is reassessing it.
This new UI has not but been finalized and may be thought-about a piece in progress that Google could or could not launch finally. We’ll maintain you up to date once we study extra about it.
