• Google appears to be testing a redesign in Messages that relocates the Magic Compose button.
• In this test, Magic Compose now appears above the message box.
• The change could help prevent accidental presses.

Google has been very busy working on tweaks to the Messages app as of late. Only a few days ago, we reported on a number of changes that could be coming our way, like a less tedious way to check timestamps and the ability to choose the resolution of the image you send. Now it appears the company is testing out a new location for the Magic Compose feature.

If you’re unfamiliar with Magic Compose, it is essentially a better version of Smart Reply. The AI tool will provide you with a variety of responses it thinks are appropriate based on the conversation to help save you some time. It first launched in beta back on May 25, 2024.
