Google Messages gets a redesigned message composition section

In Google Messages, the section for composing a message is currently divided into two sections. The first section has the text input field, and the second section, which is located right below the first one, has the smiley, gallery, and plus icons. In this design, there’s a lot of empty space. As such, people have been asking Google to combine the two sections. Well, the company has listened and it is working on making the change.

According to a new report from 9To5Google, the latest beta version of Google Messages (version 20240404_01_RC00) has a redesigned section for composing messages. It offers only the text input field, and it has the smiley button to the left and gallery and plus icons to the right. The new design consumes a lot less space and looks more sophisticated. Once you enter text in the box, the icon for the gallery gets replaced with the one for Magic Compose.

Google Messages New Message Composition Section

Unfortunately, Google Messages doesn’t show you the redesigned section for composing a message by default. The publication had to activate the new design manually. We hope that the company offers it by default with the next beta version of Google Messages. Google might make it available in the stable version of the app once it tests the new design thoroughly, which might take a couple of weeks or a couple of months.
