The Google Messages app is getting a significant update with new features. Some of the new features in the most recent version of Google Messages include selective replying in a thread, SMS reactions, message reminders, and more.

Within the next few weeks, these changes will become available to all users. Google is also changing the Messages, Contacts, and Phone app icons.

The newest version allows users to swipe to reply to a specific message. You may now choose a single message and reply to it, making it crystal apparent to whom you are responding. Group conversations can also benefit from this function.
Reactions through SMS: A variety of relevant Emojis can now be attached to the message.

The Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro can convert voicemails to text messages mechanically. To figure out the meaning of an audio clip without actually listening to it, you can use this feature.

Important communications can now have reminders set for them with the latest version.

YouTube in-app: You can watch videos that have been sent to you from YouTube without leaving the Messages app. To make more area for your conversation, you can drag the floating window wherever you choose.

Stars: Mark a communication as “starred” if it contains information you’ll want to refer to later.

Integration with Google Meet and Google Calendar has been added to Google Messages.

When searching for a local company on Google Maps, you may have the option to start a live conversation with the owner. This will launch a conversation in Messages with that company, where you can discuss anything you like.

The chat functions normally, with the ability to react and share links, among other features. As an experimental feature, it will initially only support a small subset of businesses.
