Google Messages is releasing a new design for the text box in the bottom area of chats. Unlike the previous version, icons are now displayed dynamically, making the application easier to use.
As we see in the image below, the image on the left shows the old version, with icons outside the text box and only the emoji and voice recording buttons inside it.
On the other hand, the new version has the text box aligned to the left with the emoji button at the end, while buttons for Magic Compose, Add Image and more attachments, while the voice recording button is on the right side, outside the box.

How will consolidating icons within the text box in the redesigned Google Messages app affect the user experience?
**Host:** “So, Google has rolled out a redesign for the Messages app, specifically focusing on the text box, making it more dynamic. What are your initial thoughts on this change? Do you think this will be a positive or negative change for users?”
**Alex Reed:** “This redesign is certainly interesting. On one hand, consolidating icons within the text box could make things feel cleaner and more streamlined, especially when composing messages. However, I wonder if removing those dedicated buttons will make it less intuitive to access certain features, like images or voice recording. It’ll be fascinating to see how people adapt and whether they feel this change makes messaging more or less efficient.”
