This change was seen back in September, but we have a new leak of it, and it’s a pleasant one. According to 9To5Google, the new photo picker will have a slightly different interface. Currently, when you tap on the import media button on Google Messages, you will see a grid of your most recent pictures with the leftmost square being a viewfinder for the camera. It lets you quickly snap a new image to send in a message. Next to that, you’ll see a carousel of your most recent pictures and videos on your phone. This makes it quick and easy to find and send an image.
The new Google Messages photo picker will bring slight changes
When you summon the new Google Messages photo picker, you will still see the leftmost block as the viewfinder. However, instead of scrolling horizontally, you’ll see the grid scroll vertically with the new update. Also, The viewfinder, along with the grid of your most recent pictures, will be a little smaller. This will let you see more images on the screen at one time. Another notable feature is the addition of the folders button. It will appear right next to the viewfinder, and it will let you browse the folders on your phone as another means of finding the photo you want. When you scroll down, the grid will show you 15 of your photos before you have to open the full gallery. That’s less than the 22 photos you’re able to see with the current version. At this point, we don’t know exactly when this update will be coming to the app. We will have to wait on an update from Google.
