"Google Messages Enhances Chat Experience with Colorful Background Wallpapers"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Android Central
Google Messages is introducing a background wallpaper feature for RCS chats, designed to distinguish them from standard SMS/MMS conversations. The wallpaper showcases overlapping circles and bubbles with Dynamic Color, making the message bubbles and compose field stand out. This visual update follows Google's efforts to differentiate RCS chats on the app, including a badge that identifies RCS-supported conversations. The wallpapers are rolling out, but it's unclear how widely the option is appearing. Google Messages is catching up to other messaging apps that already offer customization features like wallpapers.
