Google Messages update has transfomed the tool for users, introducing exciting features like Photomoji, voice moods, and screen effects.

Google Messages, the default messaging app on most Android phones, has undergone a significant transformation with a recent update. This overhaul not only introduces a fresh and lively feel to your conversations but also brings about new features that enhance the user experience. Google Messages update has revamped the user interface and it is now very much reminiscent of the widely popular iPhone messaging app, iMessage. One standout addition is the Photomoji feature, which allows users to extract objects from their photos, turning them into dynamic Photomojis. These personalised reactions can be sent within the Google Messages app, and when shared in group chats, others can utilise these Photomojis- a feature reminiscent of Apple's live stickers.

Google Messages Voice Moods Feature

Adding a new dimension to voice messages, Google introduces the Voice Moods feature. Users can now emphasise their voice notes by selecting from nine different emotions such as laughter or party fever after recording the message. The recipient experiences a visual effect highlighting the chosen voice mood, creating a more engaging communication experience.
