In the latest beta version of Google Messages, some users have reported the unexpected return of an old text field design, sparking speculation about whether it is a bug or a deliberate change. The older layout features a 'plus' menu and a Magic Compose button, causing confusion among users accustomed to the new format. Feedback indicates a mix of preferences regarding text alignment, with right-aligned bubbles appealing to some, while others favor the left-aligned design. As beta testing continues, users are eager for clarity on the future of the messaging interface.
