The account menu was the last non-Material 3 Expressive aspect of Google Messages and it has now been updated.
Like all other Google apps, tapping on the account avatar in the top-right corner now opens a fullscreen page instead of an overlay that let you see the app’s top bar and two or so conversations at the bottom.
The first grouping under “More from this app” lets you access Your profile, Archived, Spam & blocked, Mark all as read, and Device pairing. Then there’s Your data in Messages, Messages settings, and Help & feedback, with M3 Expressive containers leveraged.
Old vs. new
The account switcher up top is identical to other first-party apps, and is pretty unnecessary in Google Messages.
We’re seeing this redesigned account menu widely rolled out with Google Messages 20250922_00_RC00+ in the stable and beta channels.
Meanwhile, Google Contacts was another holdout that has been updated with a Last sync indicator and settings. To round out this family of apps, Phone by Google does not have a Google Account switcher.
The vast majority of Google applications now have the account menu, with Gemini rolling out in recent days. One big exception are Pixel exclusive apps (though My Pixel has it) and the Play Store, though that is coming.
