I love Google chat, but I'm not a fan of the bubble look. I'd love it to go back to how it was before. Edit: Google chat's great still, but when it automates the commands (like for bold, italic, etc..), it adds extra work to turn it off on the format settings. It could be better if we had an option to turn off that feature
-Thanks, looking forward to future updates so it can be a little more than just a way to simply text people.- I'm not a fan of Google and only use it to text my wife because her phone has a bad network connection, not being able to customize anything even something as basic as a background wallpaper for the chat or the chat bubbles themselves is crazy in 2024. How is it that these days we have less features than ever before. It solves a problem and is the only reason I have it.
It has room to be better. Years and not much has changed, no competition against other platforms. Emoticons becoming emojis seems excessive as a forced feature and removes the personal layer of expression that shouldn't rely on clicking a button every time to cancel this feature. A simple option to disable it could fix this issue. The biggest issue is that "read" receipts don't work for individuals in group chats anymore, and this diminishes the app's effectiveness, even for professional use.
