Google Messages is updating its account menu.

The account menu is the last remaining Material 3 Expressive update for Google Messages. This page is accessible by opening the Google Messages application and selecting the profile icon located on the top right of the screen. The updated account menu uses containers for each listing, which indicates that the Material 3 Expressive redesign is complete.

The profile icon is now a large circle in the center near the top of the page. Below the "Manage your Google Account" button, there is a listing labeled "Switch account." The redesigned account menu page is available in version 20250922_00_RC00 in the app's stable and beta versions and appears on a Pixel 6 Pro running the latest beta version of Android 16 QPR2.

If the Google Messages application is not installed on an Android device, it can be installed from the Google Play Store via a link. The Google Messages account menu lets users switch between app versions. Users with multiple Google accounts, each having access to its own version of the Google Messages app, can select which account to view.

Users can also tap their profile to create a new one. From this page, users can add a photo to their profile icon and choose who can see their name and picture: only people they message, their contacts, or no one. Archived and blocked spam messages can also be viewed. Additionally, users can mark all messages as read and set up their phone number to send and receive messages on devices logged into their Google account.

A new coffee table book, "Iconic Phones: Revolution at Your Fingertips," is scheduled for release in a few months. The book chronicles the technological revolution of the 21st century and is aimed at tech enthusiasts. Additional details are available via a link.
