There’s a new Google Messages update page that takes up your phone’s entire display every time you open the app.

Granted, keeping your apps up to date is important, and this new system will help get that across to users. But we’re not sure annoying the hell out of the user about it is the best strategy.

    Has anyone else lost the ability to scroll their messages with the bar showing you the dates?

      That sounds like an awesome feature, but no, I don’t have it. And I’m not sure I ever did.

      I don’t think I have ever seen that feature. Seems nice though.

      It’s probably just Google A/B testing like usual. Hopefully everyone gets it eventually.
