Google Messages: an improvement is developing
Analyzing the version 20250719_00_RC00 Beta of the Google Message app, the well -known Insider Assembradebug He discovered some improvements to which the development team is working to make the behavior of the integrated multimedia reader more consistent with other apps, the one that can be accessed by making a tap on an image or video received/sent inside a chat (via Android Authority).
Current behavior
At present (although this UI is not yet available for everyone), when we view a multimedia file, an animation is shown in fading both incoming and outgoing.
To exit the reader it is necessary to go back (via gestures or pulsating in the system’s navigation bar) or make a tap on the “x” at the top left.
Behavior in development
As anticipated, it seems that in the future the behavior is destined to change. The images (or video) will no longer be shown with fading effect but with an appearance effect from below, something more “fluid” than the present.
In addition, a bit like Google Photos, to exit the multimedia reader, simply perform a swipe down. At that point the image will dissolve to disappear and reveal the chat interface again.
