Google Messages made a smart move to reply faster
Google Messages is an app that lets you send and receive text messages on your phone. Back in 2019, Google brought a feature that helps you remember to reply to messages later. For that, you just need to set reminders for any message you want.
When you get a new message, you can see three options on the notification: Mark read, Remind 1 hour, and Reply. From these options, you can mark it as read if you don’t want to reply, or you can remind yourself to reply after an hour.
Google recently changed the order of these options. Now, the answer is on the right instead of in the middle of the notification. This makes it easier to tap Reply, since it’s closer to your thumb. But it also makes it hard to get used to the new order, as you might accidentally tap on the wrong option.
This change is not for everyone yet. This is only for some people who have the latest version of the app. Google is testing this change to see if people will like it or not.
Google Maps has updated its Wear OS Tile to enhance navigation for wearable device users. The fresh update introduces a direct shortcut to the map view to make it easier for users to access maps and transit information quickly.
With the new update, the Search button has been replaced with a Map button, allowing users to access the map view directly. This view not only shows locations but also serves as a simple compass, a feature not available on the Pixel Watch.
Previously, the Google Maps app Tile included a Search button that opened the app’s main feed and showed recent searches and nearby points of interest on Wear OS devices. But now, you can directly go to the map view.
Users can tap on locations for details and see transit stop schedules. To exit the map view, there’s a close button on the left side. This new change enhances the user experience on Wear OS devices, providing more efficient ways to navigate.

Google is enhancing its productivity tools with a new feature that will merge Google Keep reminders with Google Tasks, making it simpler to keep track of what you need to do. However, this change will rollout gradually over the next year.
Google Keep is a user-friendly app that lets individuals quickly note down ideas, create checklists, and set reminders. It also offers features like photo capture, voice recording, and drawing. Reminders can be added based on specific times or locations to provide timely prompts.
The upcoming change will see these reminders automatically transferred to Google Tasks. This will allow users to view, modify, and complete their reminders not just in Keep, but also in Calendar, Tasks, and Assistant.
With this new change, Google Tasks will become the single solution for all reminders within the Google Workspace. No matter where a reminder is created, whether it’s through Keep, Gmail, Calendar, Chat, Docs, or the Assistant, it will be synchronized and manageable in Google Tasks.
By integrating reminders into Google Tasks, users will get a more organized and accessible task management system.

Google Messages is preparing to introduce a new option that lets users turn off ‘expressive animations’ within the app. This feature will provide more control over animated reactions and screen effects.
The upcoming update of the Google Messages app with version 20240422_01_RC00 will introduce a new option named “Show expressive animations. This toggle allows users to enable or disable animations.
At present, users who prefer not to see animations can remove them across all apps on Android by opening Settings >> Accessibility>> COlor and motion >> Remove animation. The upcoming in-app setting is a more specific solution.
This feature addresses concerns from users who find the animations, especially those linked to frequently used emojis and phrases.
The anticipated setting may alter how Animated Emoji functions, but it is not expected to affect Photomoji. This feature has not yet been publicly available.
