TL;DR
- Google Messages seems to be working on new chat customization options.
- Code strings found in the latest beta version of the app reveal that users may soon be able to do a lot more than just change background and bubble colors in RCS chats.
- New customization options in Google Messages could include the ability to set your own images as backgrounds, mix and match elements, and more.
Samsung recently confirmed a clear timeline for phasing out Samsung Messages, crowning Google Messages as the default messaging app on Galaxy phones. While this is ultimately a positive change, given that Samsung Messages no longer supports RCS, it has left some longtime users missing the customization features they were used to. Now, it appears Google has taken note and is working on adding some fun features that Samsung Messages fans will recognize.
