Google Messages Prepares for Group Chat Upgrades

Google is planning an update to its Google Messages app that introduces new group chat features, including the ability to join groups via unique invite links or QR codes. These links and QR codes will automatically expire after a few days, making them suitable for inviting known individuals rather than providing persistent access.

Additional updates include:

  • @mentioning: Users can @mention others in the group chat.
  • Snoozing notifications: Options to snooze notifications for 1 hour, 8 hours, 24 hours, or always.
  • Group management: Features like setting a custom group icon and deleting messages 'for everyone.'

The update is part of an ongoing effort to enhance the functionality and user experience in Google Messages.
