Google seems working on making it easy to switch accounts in Google Messages

iOS 18 iPhones are now getting their first taste of RCS support, and that pretty much means a whole lot of people will start to engage with RCS features in Messages. And of course, Google's been working on making Google Messages even more feature-rich. The latеst efforts that the Mountain View tech giant has been putting into the messaging platform are on making it more useful for people with multiple accounts or with multiple SIMs.

The folks at Android Authority have once again got their hands on the code of the latest beta version of the Google Messages app and have found interesting things hinting at the new feature in the works. Android Authority looked at version "messages.android_20240916_01_RC00.phone.openbeta_dynamic" of the app and was able to access some early works towards a UI that will show a "Sending us" indicator.


This doesn't however mean that the feature will be available only for group chats. It just means the feature is still in the works and has not been refined yet. Also, a new option for profile management under the account menu was discovered, and this could be connected to the "Sending as..." option.

Last year, Google Messages introduced a Profile discovery feature, which helps you interact with people who are not already in your contacts.

On top of that, Google Messages has been working on dual-SIM RCS support for a while now, but so far, not everyone seems to have access to it. It's basically in active testing for some users. It could be possible that this "Sending as" option can be used if you have two separate profiles with each connected to a different phone number.

However, as you might imagine, it's quite early to know what exactly this feature would do and how it will exactly work. For now, nothing is functional so it seems that whatever feature is in the works, it's still in its early development stages.

I personally think that being able to easily switch your Google account in Google Messages would be a very useful feature. Especially if it's connected to a dual SIM scenario.
