Google Messages could soon update to make joining group chats easier, just like WhatsApp.

This could represent a significant improvement for Google's messaging service.

Recently, a line suggesting that users will soon be able to participate in group chats via links has been detected in the beta version of Google Messages, in a move similar to WhatsApp. This potential change could make managing group chats easier for Google Messages users, who until now could only add members manually.

The information was discovered by a media outlet that conducted an analysis of the app's APK, where the phrase "join via a link" was found. Although there is no official confirmation from Google yet and the feature is not operational, this addition could transform the group chat experience on the platform.

So far, Google Messages has been making adjustments and improving its features. Previously, the app made it easier to organize contacts and introduced the option to message oneself. However, the platform has also faced recent issues, such as a decrease in media quality when receiving photos and videos, which led Google to release a quick update to fix these problems.

With this new focus on enhancing functionalities, some features may be on the verge of arrival, making Google Messages more similar to the offerings of WhatsApp and other competitors in the messaging space.
