Google Messages could get a dedicated spot to see all media from your chats

Need to track down that meme? Google Messages might soon let you swipe through media in chats.

Google appears to be cooking up a Messages update in beta that makes it way easier to reply to photos and videos, and it could be perfect for those meme-packed, media-heavy chats. Spotted by Android Authority in the latest Messages beta, Google is apparently testing a swipe feature that lets you zip through all shared pictures and videos in a chat. Tap the new “Images” section, and you’ll get a neat timeline of every photo and video shared, kind of like what you see in some of our favorite messaging apps, such as WhatsApp.
