Learn more about the upcoming feature in Google Messages that will allow users to send multiple photos.
Google Messages is a standard Android messaging app used by millions. But most people struggle with its limitations when it comes to sharing photos. If you want to share more than one photo, do it one at a time. Google Messages lets you send multiple photos at once, according to a new claim.
According to reports, the photo sharing feature of Google Messages might get some updates soon. Currently, the RCS-based communication service (Rich Communication Services) does not allow users to add multiple photos taken with the phone’s camera at the same time.
Users have to attach photos one at a time, which can be cumbersome, especially when you’re in a hurry. The new improvement not only allows you to quickly email multiple photos taken by the camera, but also includes a new preview.
Assemble Debug discovered this feature in the latest beta version of Google Messages, the report adds. According to tips, the app now has a redesigned preview page that includes two new functions, but also removes one. It should be noted that the method for extracting existing photos from the gallery or folders remains the same, and that the improvements only apply to photos taken while using the app.
The messaging app provides users with an in-app camera, so you don’t have to leave the app to take photos and come back to send them. Instead, when communicating with another person, users can tap the camera and gallery icon next to the text field. This will show you the latest photos on your phone, as well as the ability to select folders and a small camera window.
This camera window allows users to quickly take a picture by pressing the capture button. There are additional options for switching to the front camera and recording video. Unfortunately, the small window cannot be expanded. Currently, after clicking an image, users are directed to a preview box with three options: edit, upload, or paste the image. Pasting it will return the user to the previous screen where they can click on another image.
Some people might be annoyed by Google Message’s current flow of sending tons of images after clicking them. However, the tipster points out that in the new version, the preview screen now displays the Add More option, which allows the user to click more photos in a more convenient way.
Additionally, the Attach option has been replaced by Send, which allows users to send images directly. Users can now add captions directly to the preview window, which is also a new feature.
