Does anyone else feel like the quality of the keyboard swipe auto-complete has completely tanked as well?

Just like their search engine, every version of Android gets worse.

I like it. Previously it would hide a bunch of icons to give the bar more space, now it doesn’t need to

From what I noticed they only added an emoji button though. This already is on my keyboard area. Maybe I’m missing something but at least you enjoy it.

player2 ,

And the emoji button in the message area has less features than the one found in the Google keyboard (no emoji kitchen?!), so I’ll never want to use it anyways.

There is also the new AI response button. But not everyone sees that. I think that’s the biggest reason for this change. It looks better than the couple other ways they demoed the ai smart reply ui. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/48567b50-711c-4ecd-844c-b5493d39c33b.png

At the cost of space for the actual content on screen.

RickyWars ,

Yup hate the new update. I have a weird problem with deleting words too with the backspace since the update. Will probably revert to Samsung messages soon.

Anticorp ,

That’s a setting. They probably reset your preferences. Check the analytics crap settings too, they often turn all the tracking back on with major updates.

Bibliotectress ,

YES. I’m also having backspace problems.

ilinamorato ,

I just want them to fix scheduled messages for crying out loud.

Anticorp ,

I hate this new layout. Why is the box smaller than the width of the screen? It was already too small. If anything they should have made it taller and kept it the same width it was before

I think it’s an improvement, particularly for folks like my grandfather that have the UI/font scale increased.

On his phone there was basically 1-2 words that would fit in that old text box …


<span style="color:#323232;">so his
</span><span style="color:#323232;">text
</span><span style="color:#323232;">message
</span><span style="color:#323232;">preview
</span><span style="color:#323232;">looked
</span><span style="color:#323232;">like this
</span>

Then maybe they should make it an option instead of ruining it for the rest of us because wasting space is the new hip thing.

workerONE ,

I just looked through all the settings, there doesn’t seem to be a way to change it back.

Same. I installed textra right after and everyone will have to deal with getting SMS from me or not talking to me lol.

AncientJames ,

Smart compose is there for me. It looks like this bar will have more icons depending on the context and maybe more in the future.

Download the messaging app of your choice. Get friends to download it if they want to contact you. Use that app and too bad if no one else does shrug

Scrollone ,

Damn this sucks. What are they thinking? It’s a horrible way to manage a text input

FOSS SMS > Google RCS

Or use signal like a civilized person.

chronicledmonocle ,

Me, using Google Voice for SMS: “Y’all have nice UIs sometimes?”

Lemonparty ,

I paid for Textra over a decade ago, and it’s easily the best money I’ve ever spent. It’s the best texting app I’ve ever used and I highly recommend everyone check it out. They still churn out updates regularly and the features are above and beyond most messaging apps.

If I had wanted all the extra bull shit that came with these updates I’d have bought an iPhone.

sbv ,

The text lines up with the recipient’s text bubbles. It’s on the left, and it’s left justified, so it’s under the other person’s messages, rather than mine.

I could have sworn the old UI had the text entry closer to the right.
