Although we have known it was coming for almost a year, today is the day we have been waiting for: RCS compatibility is giving the texting experience between the stock messaging apps on Android and iPhone a significant boost.

Interesting changes are being made by Google to the Messages homescreen, including the removal of the navigation drawer and the addition of prominent branding to the Android app. The Google Messages homescreen has undergone another update with beta version 20230717 01 RC00.

This new appearance has not yet been implemented broadly. You only get a magnifying glass icon in place of […]
