The feature of reacting with animated emojis, which it received with Android 14 last year, came to the Google messages application. However, besides those who loved the feature, there were also those who hated it. Here, Google may offer the opportunity to disable the animated emojis feature for the messages application.
How to disable Google messages animated emoji feature?
In the new source codes that emerged, a new development for Google messages emerged. Although we do not witness this discussion much in our country, this new feature has created controversy in the Android world. The Google messages animated emojis feature, which almost divides users into two, will now receive a new update.
Through these source codes discovered by 9To5Google, Google managed to add this option to the messages application. Accordingly, we see a simple option to turn off animated emojis in Google messages.
Although the change in the source code of Google messages version 20240422_01_RC00 is important, this may just be an experiment. However, it is obvious that this feature is discussed a lot in Android forums. Animated emojis have been available not only on Android but also on iOS for a long time. However, while there is an audience that loves these animations, there are also many people who hate them. It may even lead to some users giving up using this application.
Google, on the other hand, has started to equip its messages application with features such as WhatsApp, especially recently. Google Messages, which wants to be more than an SMS application, wants to rise to a position like iMessage.
As you know, Google is trying to make the messages application available on both Android and iOS. Google Messages, which has features such as RCS, end-to-end encryption and read receipts like WhatsApp, has also won the fight with Apple.
Accordingly, Apple will bring messaging support between Android and iOS devices in the fall. In short, this future RCS support for iMessage may lead to increased use of the Google Messages application on the Android side.
So, do you think it makes sense to have an option to turn off the animated emojis feature in the Google Messages app? Is it useful? How much do you use this feature and how much do you like it? We are waiting your comments.
