Google Messages has rolled out a redesigned media-sharing interface to all users running version 20250518_01_RC00. The update merges the camera viewfinder and gallery for easier photo/video switching. Users can now swipe up for a full-screen gallery view, add captions, adjust media quality (HD/HD+), and browse multiple images. This improved UI, similar to WhatsApp's, offers a more modern experience, though initially available to beta users, it's now on the stable channel.
