  • Google Messages is borrowing WhatsApp’s media forwarding shortcut.
  • Users will soon be able to forward images and videos in Google Messages using a handy button.
  • The new shortcut button streamlines the process by eliminating the extra steps currently required when forwarding media on Messages.

Google Messages has been hard at work to evolve from its old-school SMS vibe into a more modern instant messenger. To achieve this, Google has been steadily adopting features from popular apps like WhatsApp to make Messages feel more user-friendly. Now, the app is gearing up for another update that could make sharing images and videos faster and more seamless.
