Google Messages has updated its media-sharing feature for more people to enjoy. The new camera gallery redesign is beginning to be released. It aims to regular app users on the stable channel. 

This update brings important changes to sending photos and videos. This gives users better control over their image quality. It also adds a user-friendly way to add media to the RCS-enabled messaging app.

Effective Method for Picking Media

If you open the option, you will quickly notice that Google Messages has changed the way things are shown. Now, the popup is gone from what it was before.

A large camera viewfinder takes up most of the screen space at the very top of the app. It gives people a bigger and more impressive way to catch new experiences.

After the live camera feed, there is a useful grid with your most recent photos and videos from your gallery. With this design, you can promptly choose the recent images and videos you have shot.

HD+ lets you stream in full, uncompressed quality

For users who focus on quality, the arrival of “HD+” media quality on Netflix is a standout benefit. Earlier, Google often pressed images and videos so they would be sent quickly which made them look blurry. While the ‘Send photos faster’ set was offered, it did not give people enough control.

When you choose a photo or video, a preview screen comes up before you can send it. In the app’s menu bar, you can see a clear “HD” or “HD+” symbol. Clicking on this icon clearly shows the option available to you.

HD+ (Original quality) lets you send your photos and videos without making them smaller, thus keeping their high quality.

Better experience before you send the email

The new media sharing process has improved the pre-send preview as well. The chosen media is placed in front of a blurry background.

For the first time, users can add a caption to their photos from this preview. This makes the process more straightforward. 

When you have many items to send, swipe on the item you want to see and add a caption to it individually. You can select items quickly using the trash icon which is placed in the bottom-left corner of the photo editor.

What is in the Next

Users in the stable channel are already getting the update to the Google Messages camera and gallery. People who use Google Messages can expect to get the feature. 

Most people who used the One Button Studio before will have to get used to the new screen layout. However, the updated quality and simplified pre-send functions make this a much better platform.

Google is showing its commitment to making RCS an effective and adaptable messaging standard in Android.

Conclusion

The newest version of Google Messages allows users to take, pick, and send photos and videos more easily. Because of the camera gallery redesign, sharing your photos and videos just became better and more convenient than before. 

Google seems to be devoted to upgrading the RCS experience for Android users. It gives them tools that are practical, clear, and easy to manage in their conversations.
