After rolling out at the end of last month, Google Messages now lets you turn off the Gemini button on Android…
Good. Now when can I use RCS with 3rd party apps?
RCS will work with iMessage users in iOS 18. I’ve already tried out with beta users and it works fine.
I didn’t notice it was there until i saw this article.
I didn’t even know this happened. Mainly because the moment Google blocked rooted and custom ROMs for Google Messages. I just stopped using the app outright.
I locked my messages version when they added a line below the text input for adding media.
edit: they changed it back!!!

This was when I stopped using it for a while. I sent multiple feedback messages as it really irritated me.
I was going to update to the current version, but the Gemini button may or may not be there. I’m gonna wait.
Man I just realised there’s a Gemini button! I never actually open the app, I use shortcuts from notifications! Good on google letting users opt out of something basically no one wants!
