Have you ever observed that photographs and movies appear a bit damaged on Google Messages? It isn’t simply you; others are experiencing comparable points.

Google Messages is a staple on most Android telephones. It is the go-to textual content messaging app and sometimes the default selection put in on most telephones. Samsung even scrapped its messages app for Google’s option. Mix that with RCS assist, which performs good with iMessage, and there is a purpose it is so well-liked. For this reason guaranteeing the app runs as anticipated ought to be a high precedence for Google.

Sadly, complaints throughout Reddit counsel that issues have not been working as anticipated these days. Complaints vary from blurry photos or videos to multimedia that customers cannot click on on to view or your complete app working sluggish or freezing up. A typical criticism is that images are available blurry, and that is as a result of they take a number of minutes to totally load when they need to be nearly prompt.

The supervisor mentioned, “We have lately rolled out updates geared toward considerably bettering media receiving efficiency. We’re hoping you may see a noticeable distinction now. Nonetheless, we additionally know that points could be advanced, and we’re dedicated to getting this proper.”

Google hasn’t specified whether or not the updates rolling out are to repair all of the current points, or simply the issues with receiving media attachments. Nonetheless, so long as they enhance the app as a complete, we’re not complaining. Moreover, we’re uncertain if this replace is a behind-the-scenes change on the backend or by way of an replace on the Google Play Retailer. Simply know that issues ought to be higher quickly.

I do not find out about you guys, however I’ve a love/hate relationship with Google Messages. It is hands-down among the best—but in addition the worst— textual content messaging apps I’ve used. When it really works, issues are nice. However when it does not, the app is extraordinarily irritating. For months, I’ve observed photographs taking too lengthy to load or ship, SMS/MMS/RCS messages failing to undergo, and different little glitches.

My issues aren’t new, and judging by all of the complaints on Twitter, Reddit, and Google’s assist boards, I am not the one one. I hope this newest spherical of updates will make things better or at the least make Google Messages extra steady. The corporate talked about that a few of these points are “advanced” however that they are dedicated to getting issues proper, and requested customers to depart suggestions in the event that they expertise issues.

On the plus aspect, different updates all through the final six months have made messaging safer. Google even added a brand new Scam Message Detection feature earlier this month. Both method, in case you’ve skilled issues with Google Messages these days, give it one other go, as issues ought to be a bit higher now.
