In a rather prominent push, the “Start chat” floating action button now has a smaller Gemini FAB just above it. When you’re dealing with the rectangle, the square looks misaligned. Everything is visually correct upon scrolling.

You know, I kept a Google account explicitly for RCS, and to mitigate the insane amount of spam texts I get, but if they’re gonna continue adding spam directly into the app itself, that’s going to be the last straw for me…

Hopefully now that Apple is enabling RCS, some other Android apps will appear.

Lol afaik their own UX/UI design philosophy (Material Design 3) literally says there can only be one FAB

Google unfortunately locks down the RCS api’s in Android so that only the system messaging app (basically just Google Messages these days) can use them, so I don’t think any independent messaging apps can integrate RCS at all :/

It’s not even enabled for Google Workspace accounts, but it’s still forced upon you even though you can’t use it.
