The model new Google Messages notification icon has lastly started popping up for customers. This comes three months after Google introduced it. As a few of chances are you'll recall, Google modified the Messages icon completely.
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, nevertheless it’s right here now.
We’re unsure of the scope of this rollout, however I can personally see it, since yesterday night. You possibly can see what it appears to be like like within the characteristic picture above. It’s principally Google’s new icon, however in a white/darkish grey coloration (relying on the background coloration), after all.
Google modified the icon design from a small message field sort, with some traces inside it, to a bubble-like form. You possibly can basically see two message bubbles right here, one on prime of the opposite.
A few of you will have most popular the outdated design, however this one type of displays the app’s performance higher, in a method. The entire level of it's chatting. It’s not your common SMS app, because it contains the RCS performance as nicely.
Google Messages app has been round for fairly a while
Google Messages has been round for fairly a while, although ‘Google Messages’ isn't its authentic title. Google went by so many chatting apps, that it’s actually exhausting to imagine the corporate will hold this one round.
Contemplating that Google Messages is the default SMS app on many telephones today, let’s hope Google received’t get any shiny concepts. RCS nonetheless didn’t take off the way in which Google hoped it'll, however there’s nonetheless time.
Google is making an attempt to get Apple on board, however that’s not going nicely. Apple doesn’t actually have a cause to do that, regardless of the actual fact Google sees RCS as SMS 2.0, principally. Apple’s iMessage is preserving customers in Apple’s ecosystem, so the corporate actually has no cause to adapt RCS.
