Since Apple introduced more than 10 years ago your messaging app, iMessage, Google has always tried have a similar app for android. Over time, the technology giant gave up, and its mission became to unify the apple system with that of Android through RCS, a kind of technology that would allow ‘cross-platform’ messages.
Faced with Apple’s refusal, Google has no choice but to keep updating your Messages application to continue trying to compete with the Cupertino, and it seems that the new update of the app for your Xiaomi mobile try to get a little closer.
The profile photo of your contacts arrives in the Google Messages app
Unable to cope with Apple’s decision, Google is striving to make its Messages app the option to choose within Androidand for this he has made a small change in its design that comes with an update for your Xiaomi mobile.
Until now, our contacts in the Google Messages app appeared without a profile image, that is, with a default avatar in gray. From now on, the contacts that you have saved on your Xiaomi mobile and that have an associated photo They will also appear in the app with their photo.
In this way, when we talk to any of them, we will have your image at the top of the screenimproving the general appearance of the interface and adding something that practically all messaging apps (instant or not) had.
In any case, to use Google Messages like iPhone users do with iMessage, there is a lot of work ahead. In the event that you, with your Xiaomi mobile, join a group in which all users are iPhone users, all functions would be lost that those users have, and that is the big problem.
Google’s updates are good news, of course, but to come full circle, the Big Apple has to give in, and It will be then when the Google Messages app shines with its own lightunifying both worlds and enjoying all its functions, whatever mobile you have.
