Three new features might be coming to Google Messages, according to code-scouring done by folks at Android Authority.

First off, Google's app for messaging is changing the location of read receipts, which tell you whether your message is in transit, has been sent, has been delivered, or has been read, and changing their animation style.

This feature has been in the works for a while and has finally started to roll out to some users. After the change, the receipts will be moved from below the text bubble to inside it. Additionally, Google has also created a new animation for them.

The second possible change, which has been hinted at by the latest beta version of the Messages app (version messages.android_20241029_00_RC00.phone_samsung_openbeta_dynamic) is letting you choose the image resolution. WhatsApp already offers a similar feature.
