Google Messages has finally added direct reply to its web version. The feature has been long-awaited by users and brings more convenience and efficiency to the web app.
Google services on mobile apps are usually at the forefront of receiving updates. For example, The Google Messages mobile app has recently received an update that makes it easy to spot RCS conversations. While almost no one expected Google to update the Messages web version, the company has introduced direct replies to the web app.
The feature would allow users to respond directly to RCS chats in the same way they do it on Android. The history of the latest update for the Google Messages web app goes back to March when the company updated RCS read receipts/send status.
You can now directly respond to RCS chats in the Google Messages web app
Google Messages desktop web client (PWA) already lets users directly reply to RCS messages. Its experience is much similar to the Android app by showing a “Reply to message” hint for quick replies.
Direct response is especially helpful for individuals who spend a lot of time on their laptops or computers. They may quickly reply to communications from their PCs rather than continually pulling up their phones. Thanks to this functionality, users can continue to be connected without interruptions, which saves time and effort.
The direct reply also improves multitasking ability. Users can quickly respond to messages while switching between several tabs or applications effortlessly. You can simply manage your discussions without losing sight of your responsibilities, whether working on a project, doing online research, or even playing a game.
The user-friendly UI and smooth connectivity with other Google services have long been hallmarks of Google Messages. The app’s functionality could significantly improve thanks to the direct reply feature. With the addition of this new function, Google Messages maintains its position as one of the best texting apps available.
