Google Messages recently addressed a common user complaint by separating the camera and gallery options in the messaging app's interface. Previously, users had to activate the camera every time they wanted to attach a photo, leading to frustration among some users. With the latest update, users can now access the camera and gallery separately by tapping the 'plus' menu on the right. This change aims to streamline the user experience and provide more flexibility when sending multimedia content. While the combined interface is still accessible through the icon in the text field, the new feature offers a more convenient way to select and share photos within the app. According to reports, the update is currently available on a limited scale in the Google Messages beta version, with plans for a wider rollout in the future.
