Google Is Planning To Change The Android Messages Web Address From Android.com To Google.com

Big news coming out in the middle, In yet another nail in the coffin for Android brand, Google is planning to change its “messages web app” from Android.com to Google.com, according to the upcoming Gerrit source code to Chrome OS.

Messages by Google is one of the oldest app on Play store, having very similar web interface like WhatsApp.

It allows you to manage SMS/MMS messages on your phone from another device.

From the beginning, it has long been hosted at the straightforward URL of “messages.android.com” but in coming weeks this service could be moved to “messages.google.com”.

If you are a using Android Messages App  (Renamed to Messages Only) through the web interface you can chat with people from your phone using the desktop.

To do this you just need to head over to ‘messages.android.com’. However, the commit suggests that Google shift its users to a new address i.e ‘messages.google.com’.

The change in the code simply replicates that Google, remotely tells Chromebook everywhere to stop allowing the ‘messages.android.com’ URL while using the ‘better together’ features and transition to ‘messages.google.com’.

Currently, this change has not come to all versions of Chrome OS.

It only made its appearance in v72 and v73 of Chrome OS where the ‘better together’ features are available for integrating Android and Chrome OS.

It is not clear that when the change will be fully implemented but Google may also keep using both the features for a while, to make the users transition over ‘messages.google.com’.

It seems like Google avoiding the Android branding more and more and slowly removing the word ‘Android’ from its wide variety of services that were closely associated with the Android brand.

For example:- ‘Android Messages’ was recently changed to only ‘Messages’, ‘Android Pay’ renamed to ‘Google Pay’ and ‘Android wear’ to just ‘Wear OS’.

So, there will be no surprise in it, if the tech giant removes the word ‘Android’ completely from its platform in upcoming years.
