Gboard is working on an ‘Undo’ button for restoring erased text

Published

Gboard resize feature

The Gboard app offers several cool features that make typing easier and faster. One of the new features that Gboard is working on is an ‘undo” button, which lets you bring back the text that you have deleted or erased by mistake.

Usually, when you type something on your phone, you can only undo it if the app you are using has an undo button. For example, Google Keep has an undo button. But some apps don’t have it. If you delete something there, you can’t get it back.

But with Gboard’s undo button, you can undo your text in any app. The button is hidden in a menu on the keyboard, but you can move it to a place that is easy to reach. This way, you can always fix your mistakes when you type.

This feature is not ready yet for everyone to use. It is only available for some people who are testing Gboard’s new features. At the moment, we don’t know when Google will release it for everyone.

Google Messages bringing back single-line text field design

Google Messages single line design

Google has released a new update for its Messages app, reverting to a simpler single-line design for the text entry field. Users preferred a less cluttered interface, which led Google to make the change.

The fresh update of Google Messages update changes the previous double-line format that was introduced earlier this year. The original design, which featured a second row for quick access to emojis, the gallery, and other functions, has been modified.

Now, when users begin to type a message, the interface will show only the emoji and ‘plus’ icons, reducing on-screen clutter and animations.

Some users have noted that the new design results in a narrower text field, which could impact usability. However, the limit of four lines of text before scrolling is required remains unchanged.

The updated single-line text field design is currently being tested in the Google Messages beta version 20240506_04_RC00. Through this, the company aims to provide a better user experience.

Google Messages bringing new blocking feature to group chats

Google Messages new blocking feature

Google Messages is releasing a new beta update, introducing a new blocking feature to improve user privacy. This update allows users to avoid seeing messages from blocked contacts in group chats for a better experience.

Previously, if you blocked someone, their messages would still be visible in group chats. According to the information via AndroidAuthority, the new feature changes this by hiding these messages to ensure a more private chat experience.

Once you block an individual, their messages will no longer mess up your group chat view. However, it’s important to note that while you won’t see messages from blocked individuals, they can still see yours in the group chat.

When the new Blocking feature is in use, Google Messages will alert you with a notification if messages from a blocked contact are hidden in group chats. This ensures you’re aware of why certain messages may not be appearing in group chats.

Google Messages will show unknown sender names in notifications

Google Messages names notifications

Google Messages app is developing a feature that will display the names of unknown senders in notifications. This feature was discovered through an APK teardown of the latest beta version 20240506_01_RC00 of Google Messages.

The new feature will work only if the person contacting you has chosen to make their profile visible and has linked their phone number to their Google account. If someone with an active profile sends you a message, their name will be displayed in the notifications of the Google Messages app.

However, this will only happen if the sender has the profile discovery option turned on, which can be controlled through their Google account.

Currently, the option to enable or disable profile discovery within Messages is under development and not yet operational. Although the setting appears in the beta, it remains hidden and cannot be activated through APK modification.
