TL;DR
- We managed to activate a redesign of the Preferences display screen within the newest Google Messages beta.
- The redesign brings a cleaner look to Google Messages and aligns it nicely with the just lately leaked redesign of the Settings app in Android 16.
Google Messages is the first texting app on most Android flagships as of late, so we recognize the common updates and have additions that Google has in thoughts for the app. Google has been refreshing varied components of the Messages expertise, aligning it with a extra trendy aesthetic. Quickly, Google may refresh the Preferences menu inside Google Messages and produce 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. Nevertheless, it’s doable that such predicted options might not make it to a public launch.
Listed here are some screenshots of the redesign in darkish mode:
For reference, that is what the preferences menu in Google Messages seems to be like at present:
The newer UI seems to be recent and far cleaner, because the dividing traces 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 of a piece in progress that Google might or might not launch ultimately. We’ll hold you up to date after we be taught extra about it.
