An analysis of the app files from the Android “Google Messages” app v20261020 update, released on Thursday, October 22, 2026, confirmed the addition of resource code related to the heavily redesigned settings screen and multiple illustration images to be placed within it. Additionally, UI mockups of the new settings screen based on the resource code have also come to light.
However, the rollout of this majorly redesigned settings screen has not yet been confirmed.
In the heavily redesigned settings screen of the Android “Google Messages” app, while the existing settings content itself remains unchanged, previously fragmented setting items are grouped together by category, enabling users to check and modify their preferences more accurately. The main settings screen features categories such as “Messaging,” “Notifications,” “Privacy,” “Spam & Safety,” “Phone Number & Region,” and “Reaction & effects,” with a summary of the settings included in each category displayed beneath its name.
For example, “Profiles, read receipt, typing indicators” is displayed under “Privacy,” and “RCS, SMS/MMS, reliability, auto-downloads” is shown under “Messaging,” making it easier to figure out where a desired setting is located before opening a category. Within each category, individual settings are organized into sections such as “Connectivity,” “Display & gestures,” and “Smart features & AI,” with AI-related settings like “Gemini” and “Smart Reply” grouped under “Smart features & AI.”
Furthermore, settings such as “Read receipts,” “Typing indicators,” “Birthday reminders,” and “Spam protection” will feature the aforementioned illustration images within each respective setting, making it easier to understand what each setting does.
