The model new Google Messages notification icon has lastly began popping up for customers. This comes three months after Google introduced it. As a few of you might recall, Google modified the Messages icon totally.
New Google Messages notification icon is lastly showing for customers
The brand new icon has been current within the Play Retailer, and Google’s advertising and marketing supplies since its launch. We don’t know why it took the corporate so lengthy to push out the notification icon, however it’s right here now.
We’re undecided of the scope of this rollout, however I can personally see it, since yesterday night. You possibly can see what it seems like within the function picture above. It’s principally Google’s new icon, however in a white/darkish grey colour (relying on the background colour), after all.
Google modified the icon design from a small message field sort, with some strains inside it, to a bubble-like form. You possibly can basically see two message bubbles right here, one on high of the opposite.
A few of you could have most popular the outdated design, however this one sort of displays the app’s performance higher, in a approach. The entire level of it’s chatting. It’s not your common SMS app, because it contains the RCS performance as properly.
Google Messages app has been round for fairly a while
Google Messages has been round for fairly a while, despite the fact that ‘Google Messages’ just isn’t its unique identify. Google went by means of so many chatting apps, that it’s actually onerous to imagine the corporate will maintain this one round.
Contemplating that Google Messages is the default SMS app on many telephones lately, let’s hope Google received’t get any shiny concepts. RCS nonetheless didn’t take off the best way Google hoped it should, however there’s nonetheless time.
Google is making an attempt to get Apple on board, however that’s not going properly. Apple doesn’t actually have a motive to do that, regardless of the actual fact Google sees RCS as SMS 2.0, principally. Apple’s iMessage is retaining customers in Apple’s ecosystem, so the corporate actually has no motive to adapt RCS.
