  • Google is rolling out a whole slew of updates for its Google Messages app.
  • The ability to reply to specific messages in a chain, SMS reactions, and message reminders are just some of the highlights.
  • All users will see these updates, but they will roll out incrementally over the coming weeks.

Google has been on a tear recently with attacks on Apple’s iMessage. The company is pointing out how incompatibilities between iMessage and rich-content services (RCS) messaging make life difficult for everyone, Android and iPhone users alike. However, the company hasn’t just been shaming Apple — it’s also actively making its own messaging app better.

Today, Google announced a slew of updates for the Google Messages app. There are a few headlining features and then some smaller ones. Combined, though, there are nine new additions to the toolbox, many of which are genuinely useful.
