RARE PHOTOS: Google is rolling out this promised feature for rcs messages to beta testers here s what we know | Vintage Vibes

Google Pixel 8 Pro held in hand.

Beta testers have begun to report customizable RCS chat colors for Google messages. This information comes to us from Android Police, who reported that the custom color options for the Rich Communication Services (RCS) chats were being rolled out to beta testers. The new setting appeared after updating from version 20240228 to version 20240308. However, it seems that the feature is not available on every device just yet as some have reported not seeing the option in their app. 

According to reports, users can change the color by tapping the three-dot menu button inside any Google Messages chat thread. Once tapped this option will then show the “change colors” option on the overflow menu. The option will also appear when selecting “Details” or “Group Details” and then selecting the "Change Color" option located beneath the images and videos section.
