Update rolls out for the Google Messages account menu

Google has spent months updating its apps using the Material 3 Expressive design language. During the spring and summer, Google updated the chat interface of Google Messages using the Material 3 Expressive redesign. This was followed by the Material 3 Expressive facelift of Google Messages’ Profile Pages. In August, the Plus “+” page for the Google Messages app received the Material 3 Expressive redesign.

This should be the last Material 3 Expressive update for the Google Messages app

All of those updates leave just one more Material 3 Expressive update for Google Messages and that would be the account menu. You can access this page by opening the Google Messages app and tapping on the profile icon on the upper right of the display. The newly redesigned version of the account menu uses containers for each listing, a sure sign that the Material 3 Expressive redesign has been made.

Here are some of the changes made to the redesigned account menu

You can also tap on Your profile to create a new profile. From this page, you can add a photo to your profile icon, decide whether to show your name and picture only to people you message, your contacts, or no one. You can also choose to see archived messages as well as view spam messages that were blocked. You can also mark all messages as being read and arrange to have your phone number used to send and receive messages on devices signed into your Google account.
