TL;DR
- Google Messages beta v20261106 contains code for an “Edit media” button that would appear before sending.
- Rather than build a media editor into the messaging app, Google Messages will use an intent-based system to hand off photos and videos to stock media editor apps like Google Photos.
- Edited files will return directly to the chat draft via a separate output URI, eliminating manual app switching and file reattaching.
Google Messages has been on a redesign spree lately, tweaking everything from its pinned chats interface to even its app icon. Now, Google appears to be addressing a lingering pain point in how the messaging app handles outgoing media. An upcoming Google Messages update could finally allow you to edit photos and videos right before you send them.
