• Google Messages could soon solve a common frustration for group chat users, finally enabling them to set custom group chat icons.
• Currently, Google does not allow users to change the RCS group chat icon, which defaults to a grid made up of users’ initials or individual profile pictures.
• We spotted the upcoming feature in a recent beta version of the Google Messages app.

Google Messages users have long wanted the ability to set custom images for RCS group chats. There are numerous threads on Reddit and Google’s Community forum with users expressing their frustration over the lack of the feature. While the RCS Universal Profile has supported custom group images for many years, Google hasn’t made the feature available to Messages users till now. Thankfully, that’s about to change.
