Google Messages could soon fix this big profile discovery privacy oversight (APK teardown)
- Google announced the Profiles feature in Google Messages last year, but it is still in the process of rolling out this profile discovery feature to all users.
- We’ve spotted settings that indicate Google is adding some privacy options for this profile discovery feature.
- This would give users control over who can see their profile name and picture.
Google Messages is back in the limelight these days as the primary medium for RCS messaging on the Android platform. More and more companies are ditching their messaging apps in favor of Google Messages, so it is important for Messages to evolve into a service that fulfills the needs and expectations of a wider user base. Google officially announced Profiles back in November 2023 as a way for profile discovery. While the feature is still seeing a spotty rollout, we’ve spotted clues that indicate Google is working on fixing privacy concerns around profile discovery.
