It looks that Google is trying to enhance the overall user experience by making a number of modifications to its Android Messages app.
According to Android Authority, a reputable source named Assemble Debug broke down an APK and discovered modifications in the code for the most recent iteration of Google Messages. The chat bubbles have been redesigned with each message being clearly defined by an oval, marking the beginning of a new conversation. Additionally, you will be able to touch on a user's profile image to view a larger version of it; however, profile images in group chats will not benefit from this feature.
The Google Messages app will now display the SIM card name that the device is using to send messages, which will make life much simpler for those who own dual SIM phones. It appears like Google is finally making improvements to the Messages app's GIF menu. Users identify relevant GIFs by selecting hashtags in the current version of the app, but the APK showed that the new version has divided them into categories.

In recent months, Google has put a lot of effort into making the Message app better. For example, it was recently revealed that photos shared using RCS messaging in Google Messages will no longer be compressed. Furthermore, it looks like Google has included a function that lets users modify messages that have already been delivered; this feature has been quite popular on WhatsApp.
Google is implementing updates to other of its services in addition to the chat app. For example, a new upgrade from Google lets users synchronize their passwords across platforms and devices. Additionally, Google has added new intelligent responses to Gmail, which are created by the Gemini AI and will even show up on the iOS app.
