Google Messenger 2.0 New icon and design changes

Google Messenger 2.0 brings new icon and design changes:

• Google Messenger has been updated to version 2.0, bringing some design changes to match the new Android Nougat.
• The first difference you will notice is the icon – it is now rounded, just like the ones of other apps from Android 7.1. Additionally, the icon now displays a badge with the unread message count in the launcher without the need to install third-party plugins.
• The notification tray icon has also been tweaked to match launcher one. Inside the app, the colour scheme of the conversation list screen has changed to a slightly darker blue, like the one from Google’s new dialer.
• The contact pictures are also slightly smaller, allowing more text to be shown. Conversations have also been tweaked, with rounded message bubbles, a slightly different bottom bar and, once again, smaller contact pictures.
• Additionally, clicking on a message will show whether it was an SMS or an MMS.
• The bar at the top is slightly different and replacing the Frequent and All contacts tabs is a single screen with 8 top contacts and an alphabetical list of all contacts below it.
• The new version of Google Messenger can be downloaded via APK Mirror. Use the button below to download the app and install it manually.
