Google Messages, the default messaging software on many top-tier Android phones, has recently introduced a new feature that supports animated emojis. This application is an essential tool for everyday communication, capable of handling traditional SMS/MMS as well as more advanced RCS standards. This versatility allows it to connect with virtually anyone who possesses a phone number.
The addition of animated emojis to Google Messages is set to make the app even more engaging and entertaining for users. While sending standard emojis was already a feature of the app, the introduction of animated emojis adds a dynamic element to the user experience. However, it’s important to note that the animation only works when a single emoji is sent. The animation does not activate when multiple emojis are used or when text is combined with an emoji.
This exciting new feature was first discovered by a Reddit user and later confirmed by Android expert Mishaal Rahman. However, the availability of this feature is currently limited to certain regions. It is expected that the animated emoji support will gradually roll out to all users in different stages.
The recent update also includes a new logo for RCS chats and direct answers for users of the web version of Messages. As the animated emoji feature becomes available to all Google Messages users, it is anticipated that Google will provide further information about its use and functionality.
The addition of animated emoji support to Google Messages is a significant enhancement that brings text to life and makes everyday communication more enjoyable. Users can look forward to this feature becoming widely available in the near future.
