Google Messages’ handy new long-press menu is finally rolling out widely
Message actions and selective copying are reaching more stable users.
Google Messages has finally made its redesigned long-press menu widely available to stable users, following its initial rollout to beta users in August. The new floating menu places common message actions closer to the thumb, making it more convenient and user-friendly. This update also supports selective text copying, enhancing the overall messaging experience.
Initially available to beta users, the stable rollout appears to be a server-side update, indicating a gradual release process. Google first began improving the long-press menu months ago and recently expanded access to the redesigned menu for beta testers. Users on Reddit, such as Lazy_Excitement_2602, spotted the new menu on the stable version of Google Messages (version 20260903_04) and confirmed its presence on various devices, including Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus and S25 Ultra.
The rollout is not limited to Pixel devices or testers, suggesting that the update is now more widely accessible.
