The app has been receiving a myriad of new features over the last several months.<br \/>\nThe feature-laden SMS and instant messaging app from Google are slowly garnering popularity among users. This year, the app received several features such as auto-OTP deletion, scheduled messages, calendar event suggestions, and an overhauled UI on Samsung phones.<br \/>\nXDA Developers originally spotted some of these impending features in its analysis of the latest Google Messages update. The publication also gave us a glimpse of what they look like.<br \/>\nGoogle Messages split-screen view for tablets<br \/>\nGoogle Messages 8.0.054 is currently available on Google Play. The website bumped into new strings that hint at a new split-screen UI designed for tablets.<br \/>\nAccording to the strings, Google Messages will soon receive a new setting dubbed \u201cList detail view.\u201d Once a user enables the settings, they will be able to see their conversation list next to the conversation.<br \/>\nAfter enabling it, XDA Developers shared screenshots of how the feature will look upon release. The List detail view will split the screen in half.<br \/>\nYou can see the list of your previous conversations on the left. The current conversation will appear on the right side.<br \/>\nThe new UI is developed for devices with larger displays. The enables the app to take advantage of the extra screen real estate.<br \/>\nUsing a paired phone to send texts<br \/>\nThe recently rolled out Google Messages update has new strings that point towards a new feature. This impending feature will allow users to send messages using a paired phone.<br \/>\nThis feature probably corresponds to the upcoming tablet-centric layout. Users might be able to choose between sending a text using a tablet, or from a paired phone.<br \/>\nIt is worth noting that Google Messages already offers a similar feature on Samsung-branded phones and tablets. The feature is called Call and Message Continuity.<br \/>\nIt enables Galaxy device owners to send and receive texts on their tablets and phones at the same time using the same phone number. Google seems to be working to extend this feature to support devices from more manufacturers.<br \/>\nCategorizing conversations<br \/>\nIn October 2020, Google Messages added a new feature that automatically categorized conversations depending on their content. It adopted similar working processes like Microsoft\u2019s SMS Organizer app.<br \/>\nThe new feature divided texts into several categories such as Offers, OTP, Transactions, Person, and All. Regrettably, it did not allow users to pick a default category as SMS Organizer did.<br \/>\nThe upcoming setting will let users change the primary category. Users will be able to pick a default category from the above-mentioned options.<br \/>\nThese features aren\u2019t currently available in the latest version of Google Messages. Details about when Google will be rolling out these features are still scarce.<br \/>\nThe post Google Messages Split-Screen View For Tablets Is Coming Soon appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/AH-Googles-Messages-app-1-600x337-1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Messages split-screen view for tablets has been a much-awaited feature.
