Google Messages is working on multiple new features that will let you choose the photo resolution before sending them, and also a security control feature to blur out nude images.
Google Messages is reportedly working on a bunch of new features aimed at enhancing the overall messaging experience. Firstly, the app is picking up a feature, similar to WhatsApp, which allows users to choose the photo resolution before sending them.
WhatsApp users must know that the app now lets you select between standard and high quality when sending a photo or video. Picking „standard“ sends a low-quality image or video to the sender, but takes less time and data to go over to the other side. On the other hand, choosing „high quality“ sends the image or video without compression, but takes longer and more data to send.
In the Google Messages Android beta app (version messages.android_20241029_00_RC00.phone_samsung_openbeta_dynamic), folks at Android Authority have spotted „HD“ and „HD+“ icons in the Photo Picker. As per the shared screenshot, the Photo Picker now shows you two options: Optimized for chat (Sends faster with reduced quality) and Original quality (Sends with no changes to the quality, uses more data).
