Google Messages, the popular messaging app, has recently introduced new features that have garnered attention. However, some users have noticed the absence of a few existing features, causing frustration and confusion.
Two features that seem to be missing in the latest update are message reminders and the ability to upload videos via Google Photos. Users have expressed disappointment over the removal of the ability to set reminders by long-pressing on a message. Although the convenient “Remind 1 hr” shortcut in incoming notifications and related settings toggle are still available, this particular feature seems to have vanished for some users.
Another feature that has caught attention is the Google Photos integration, which allows users to upload videos to the cloud and share them as links. However, many users have reported that this feature is missing as well. These removals are believed to be accidental rather than intentional, as both features have been widely used and are regarded as valuable additions.
It is important to note that these missing features play a significant role in both messaging and backup services. The ability to set reminders within messages enhances organization and productivity, while the Google Photos integration facilitates smoother sharing and ensures the preservation of high-quality media.
While some users have been speculating that these changes were intentional, it is more likely that they are a result of a bug or glitch in the system. This assumption is supported by the fact that the intentional removal of message organization features in the homescreen redesign has already been acknowledged by Google.
The absence of these features has left many users eagerly waiting for a solution. However, it is expected that Google will address these concerns promptly and restore the missing features in the near future. As Google Messages continues to be a popular choice for messaging and media backup, users remain hopeful for a seamless and comprehensive experience.
