Google Messages Overhauls UI with New Search Hub and Pinned Chat Limits
Google is testing a major interface update for Google Messages that repositions core controls to the bottom of the screen for better one-handed use. The update introduces a new search experience that previews shared media and links without requiring initial filters, alongside a redesigned pinned conversation view inspired by iMessage. While the layout changes aim to improve usability, the potential reduction of pinned chats from 20 to 6 has drawn user criticism.
