Google Messages web app now supports direct reply

Google Messages on the web hardly ever will get up to date, however a latest addition helps you to instantly reply to RCS chats like on Android.

The final replace to Messages for web was assist for the up to date RCS learn receipts/ship standing. 

Previously, hovering over an RCS chat in messages.google.com/web would allow you to Copy textual content and Delete, in addition to react with emoji (although you solely have seven choices as a substitute of the whole picker on Android).

Google not too long ago launched the power to instantly reply to RCS messages on the desktop web shopper (PWA). When you accomplish that, the chat is proven above the textual content discipline with a “Reply to message” trace for an expertise much like the Android app, which gained this characteristic in October 2022. 

This has been a highly-requested functionality because the Messages web app has lengthy supported exhibiting these quote replies made on/from telephones.

These direct replies don’t seem like out there on Android tablets, which moved the oblong “Start chat” FAB from the highest of the dialog record to the bottom-right nook of that column. We have our justifiable share of complaints in regards to the QR code-based shopper, particularly for the Pixel Tablet, however the lack of direct replies is curious given the same old degree of characteristic parity with messages.google.com.

On an identical notice, we not too long ago seen that Messages for Wear OS has been up to date with a brand new design for prompt replies that makes use of skinny outlines for the pill-shaped container somewhat than crammed buttons. This may very well be in preparation for design language tweaks which may coincide with Wear OS 4.
