JAKARTA - Google search giants bring more support for Rich Communication Services (RCS) for Messages and also bring a series of new features that will definitely be useful for users.

The most prominent addition of features is the ability to reply to individual messages. This feature is similar when using the shift movement to respond to messages on WhatsApp or Instagram DMs.

Users can also press for a long time on messages to open contextual menus with reply options that need to be tapped.

It will also ask users for favorite messages containing important information such as addresses, codes, and phone numbers.

YouTube will also now be better integrated, allowing users to watch videos in chat windows whenever a link to the service is sent.

Launching Digital Trends, Friday, October 21, the integration feature will allow users to keep chatting and avoid switching from one application to another.

Messages' new feature will also recognize phrases asking for other forms of communication and will suggest setting up video calls via Google Meet.

Google also added some tricks on machine intelligence to the Messages app. Just like Gmail, apps will automatically detect time-sensitive contexts in conversations and will automatically suggest calendar reminders and scheduling actions for it.

Then, if the user has saved someone's birthday information on the contact card.

In addition, some countries will get experimental features, which allow instant communication with businesses via Messages when the company is found using Google Search or Maps.

Of course, users can use more than just mobile phones to communicate, as Messages are compatible with web browsers, Chrome, Chromebooks, and even the newly released Pixel Watch.

The search engine giant has also partnered with United Airlines to offer free messaging on United flights as long as users activate RCS. This service will be available to most operators.
