There's a new Google Messages update page that takes up your phone's entire display every time you open the app.

Granted, keeping your apps up to date is important, and this new system will help get that across to users. But we’re not sure annoying the hell out of the user about it is the best strategy.

For me, i couldn't reply via notifications until I updated. That's usually the case for me.

I uninstalled that crap years ago in favor of Key Messaging. Has an awesome keyword filter and spam blacklist.

Nope, but I don't care about that.

Has anyone else lost the ability to scroll their messages with the bar showing you the dates?

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

I don't think I have ever seen that feature. Seems nice though.

It's probably just Google A/B testing like usual. Hopefully everyone gets it eventually.

Yes when you grab and scroll it shows the date

Google Photos has also been doing a fullscreen update hassle where you don't have an "don't ask again" option 😑

Ohhhh, is that why google photos has suddenly been crashing relentlessly since I updated? Sheesh
