Google Messages tweaks the camera to show more of your gallery

Key Points:

  • Google Messages is rolling out updates to the combined camera and gallery interface on Android, making the camera viewfinder slightly shorter but extending it into the system status bar.
  • The updated interface features a container with rounded corners at the top and bottom, while the button layout remains unchanged.
  • The reduced size and spacing allow users to view two full rows (2×3) of images in the gallery, an improvement from previously seeing only half of the second row.
  • Users can still swipe through their full gallery or access it directly via the "Gallery" shortcut in the ‘plus’ menu, bypassing the camera entirely.
  • This update, initially tested in the beta channel, is now available on the stable channel with Google Messages version
