Survey says loads of Google Messages users aren’t keen on this incoming feature
Google should address the other shortcomings of the app, readers argue.
Google Messages has introduced a new feature that notifies users about upcoming app updates and enhancements. The purpose of this feature is to draw attention to changes that some users might overlook. However, a recent poll conducted among readers indicates that the majority of Google Messages users are not enthusiastic about this idea.
A significant 52.3% of the respondents expressed opposition, deeming it "unnecessary bloat." Only 20.6% viewed it as a "promising addition," while 27.1% were willing to give it the benefit of the doubt based on its implementation. Despite this mixed reception, users appear to have higher priorities. Features like customizable fonts, contact categorization, and improved RCS education ranked higher in their importance.
One commenter, TopCop72, pointed out that Google Messages informs users about updates but doesn't allow for replies or feedback, echoing concerns raised in the past about similar features in other texting apps. The feature's effectiveness and its impact on the user experience remain to be seen. Readers are encouraged to share their thoughts and opinions on the new feature in the comments section below.
