- Google is testing a desaturated redesign for the Google Messages app, replacing bright colors with muted tones.
- The update alters multiple interface elements, including conversation views, emoji menus, search bar positions, and attachment shortcuts.
Google has been hard at work improving the overall Google Messages experience. After all, the app is the primary texting app on Android flagships, used by millions of people worldwide daily. Part of the improvement process involves experimenting with changes and seeing what resonates, and that’s what Google Messages appears to be doing for its latest round of UI changes that prominently opt for a desaturated look.
