Google might come up with Whatsapp chat like app or feature.
Google Messages is quickly shaping up to be the messaging app to beat, as it pushes Android users further toward a unified Rich Communication Services (RCS) standard for a better messaging experience. However, that hasn’t stopped the company from adding several improvements to the app such as scheduled messaging and an auto-clean feature to get rid of one-time password (OTP) codes. Google is now working on adding a popular feature found on WhatsApp and iMessage – pinned chats.
The code that suggests Google is working on the ability to pin chats to the top of the app was spotted by XDA in a recent teardown of version 8.1.050 of the Google Messages APK (Android Application Package). This is the stable version of the app that is currently running on user’s updated devices.
While these experimental features sound quite useful, it is important to keep in mind that it is not a guarantee they will make it to a future version. Google could change them, modify them to work differently or scrap them completely before the next version of the app so stay tuned for more on this front.
