@mentions will make it significantly easier to navigate noisy group chats.
- Google has been working on a Mentions feature for Google Messages, and we managed to activate it for a first look.
- In group chats, users can type @, followed by another user’s name or number, to mention them. An autocomplete prompt will make the mention process easier.
- Mentioned users will see their name highlighted, making it easier to go through noisy group chats without missing out on such important messages.
Google Messages is the de facto medium for RCS conversations on Android flagships, and Google has been consistently working to bring the messaging experience up to par with other competing instant messaging apps. We previously spotted Google Messages working on a Mentions feature that would let users in a group chat mention other users to grab their attention. With the latest Google Messages v20250511 beta, we’ve managed to enable the Mentions feature to give you a first look.
