They really didn’t have to redesign a text box. Please stop reinventing the wheel. I don’t need another pop up in my life.

It’s impressive how modern companies with thousands of professional designers manage to make increasingly goofy designs lol

“Modern” (i.e. Apple-chasing) design seems to be hellbent on wasting as much screen space as possible.

Apples actually generally pretty good at not wasting much screen space.

To prove yourself as a executive you have to make the company do stuff, so people come up with reasons to do wasteful things. It’s all a circle of shit people being shitty to get ahead.

Lol I’m glad other people are talking about it because same… I updated it and noticed immediately and thought it felt/looked a little odd. Here’s to hoping they listen to feedback if enough is provided! I’ve enjoyed the app, otherwise, for the RCS and what not.

Does anyone else feel like the quality of the keyboard swipe auto-complete has completely tanked as well?

Just like their search engine, every version of Android gets worse.

I don’t know how to edit the main post on mobile so I’ll just add this comment. The message I typed in the screenshot populates in a “pop up bar”. The message no longer gets entered where you think it should go and it looks like shit and takes up extra screen space for no reason. I really dislike this change.
