Google Messages seems to want to improve its function for sending voice messages with an overhaul of the recording user interface.
English media 9to5Google spotted changes in the latest version of Google’s SMS app, Google Messages. There is a redesign of the interface for recording voice messages: enough to make it easier to use this feature. Even though many of you readers consider voicemails disrespectful.
A change to the voicemail interface in Google Messages
For now, to record a voice message in the app, just tap and hold the microphone icon to the right of the text field. Once you release, the recording is cut and you can either delete it, listen to it again, or send it. But the place is always left to the conversation and Google Messages highlights the SMS exchanged, perched on the text field.

This may soon be changed in a future redesign of this recorder. One might then have to tap on a new circular icon representing an audio spectrum. What differentiate this icon from that of the voice synthesis of Gboard, which is also a microphone.
Just below, we would see an audio spectrum appear, a button to restart the recording, one to stop it and one to send it. According 9to5Google“ Google Messages’ new voice recorder is quite lovely, with some fancy touches/animations. The experience would be similar to the audio recording application found on the Pixel Experience.

Officially, no deployment is planned for the moment and it is possible that Google will never release this new interface. If that were the case, we don’t know when it would be effective.
