Google messages app question.

Si

Hmm, I wonder if everyone else that has it is also Samsung. Also interesting that the version being pushed from Play Store is a Release Candidate (RC01).

You have international version or US?

 

[Mr. Lucky]

I think we're seeing the beginning of a trend here

@mustang7757: U.S.

I'm surprised you don't have Samsung dynamic in your version or you do?

Probably not, since my two phones are 1+ and moto, both on A13.

Is everyone that reports having it also on Android 14?

Ahh ok makes sense lol

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but photomoji works by long-pressing on the message you want to reply to, which opens up a row of emojis above that message. Scroll over to the right in that row and there's a light blue "Create" button, which is how you create a photomoji.

That's how Google themselves describe it, but it's absent on both my phones.

@winmod21: Well, that's the one possible silver lining. I know you previously reported using S23, but at least it's not limited to A14.

It worked exactly as I described on my previous Pixel 7 Pro, the OnePlus 12 that I had for a week and returned, and now the S24U.

Do you have carrier models or unlocked?

 

[Mr. Lucky]

Do you have carrier models or unlocked?

Unlocked, on Visible. I receive security updates np, and as I said, I've received three updates to the Messages app but Photomoji is still MIA.

 

[Village_Idiot]

I can check. But, I'm not sure if it would be a good example. I have an unlocked S24 Ultra on Verizon, but I am in the Google Messages beta program.

 

[winmod21]

We're on Xfinity. I've presumed that our S23U & S23+ are locked. On AT&T we were unlocked.
I don't recall how to tell if you're locked or unlocked in Settings > About Phone; if you can?

Yes, forgot to mention I'm in the beta program but even then I didn't get the option for some time after a buddy of mine also on beta. I don't think there's much rhyme or reason to how they update. I would frequently clear cache hoping that would prompt the update but I don't think it had any impact on when it finally showed

 

[Village_Idiot]

This is what my Google Messages looks like. It's been like that for a while for me. But, like I said, I am in the Google Messages beta program.

Version: messages.android_20240228_00_RC00.phone_samsung_openbeta_dynamic

 

[Village_Idiot]

Yeah that's where mine is

Mine looks like yours.

 

[mustang7757]

Wonder if its server side update since some don't have it yet

If your baseband version has a U1 it's factory unlocked. Carrier version will be just U with no number.

 

[Village_Idiot]

Google messages is agnostic. I don't think it cares if you're unlocked or locked. When I had my S22 Ultra (U model), I'm pretty sure I had the same functionality as I do now. Google Messages has been updated at least once since I had my S24 Ultra and @mustang7757's version is not far behind mine. But again, I'm in the beta sooo....

Ahh that's why, no beta for me on apps I like them as stable as possible.
