Google Messages Introduces Background Wallpaper for RCS Chats
Google Messages rolls out a new feature that allows users to set background wallpapers for RCS conversations, adding a touch of customization to their messaging experience. This update comes alongside another forthcoming feature that will enable users to choose custom bubble colors. While Apple continues to face scrutiny over exclusivity and anti-competitive behavior, Google silently enhances its messaging app, providing users with more options and features. Despite ongoing drama in the messaging app landscape, with app compatibility issues and color-coded bubbles becoming points of contention, Android users are primarily focused on achieving messaging harmony, without the need to jump through hoops or worry about bubble colors. As Google Messages continues to evolve, the focus remains on improving the overall messaging experience for users.
