Google has been updating its Messages app in an effort to provide an alternative to popular chat apps. This is especially significant now that RCS messaging support is available even on Apple devices.

With the latest version of Google’s Messages app, the company aims to offer users new ways to customize their profile images and how others access them. The new app version will allow users to personalize their profile picture associated with their phones or even remove it altogether. Users will also be able to choose a username, making it easier for others to find their number quickly.

Both the profile picture and username can be hidden if users do not want them to be publicly visible. It can also be configured to only appear for contacts or those with whom direct messages have been exchanged.

This new feature is expected to roll out to more users of the Google Messages app in the near future. Currently, it seems to be available only to a small group of test users.
