The famous hamburger menu ☰ that Google has been removing from most of its applications in recent years will come by surprise to Google Messages. In future updates we will find a new side navigation bar which will include Featured, Archived, Spam and Blocked, Device Pairing, Choose Topic, Mark All Read, and in the US, the option to make a donation via SMS.

This integration of the Google account with Google Messages, in addition to facilitating the synchronization with the desktop web version, it also seems that it is for the next integration with Google Photos. Last November it was leaked that it was going to be possible to send videos by SMS through Google Photos links. Now we also know that you can also send photos from Google Photos through a link. With this integration, Google will ensure that users will share photos and videos by SMS in higher quality, since quality is drastically reduced by an SMS.
