Google Messages is getting a handy feature that users have been demanding for years. And it’s the ability to change the font size with a simple pinch to zoom gesture. As first spotted by users on the r/androidapps subreddit and highlighted on Twitter by XDA’s Mishaal Rahman, the feature seems to be widely rolling out on Google Messages app.
To get started, all you have to do is pinch out while you are on the conversations page. Similarly, you can pinch in to reduce the font size if needed. Check out the feature in action below:
When I checked, the feature was present in Google Messages beta version 8.2.043. As per user reports, it is also available in the stable channel. One Reddit user says they got the feature in Google Messages version 8.3.025. Going by this, Google is seemingly making a server-side rollout to enable the feature. If you are not seeing it, try updating the app from Play Store.
