Introducing a new mobile experience for Google Chat

What’s changing

We recently announced a streamlined user experience in Google Chat to help you find what you need much faster, including new features like home and mentions. Starting today, we’re excited to introduce a new bottom navigation bar within the Chat app on Android & iOS devices to help you easily access these features on mobile. You will now have easy access to the following views: 
  • Home: helps you stay on top of all conversions in one unified view, with a filter that allows you to drill down to unread messages. 
  • Direct messages: see a compact list of all your 1:1 and group messages, including pinned conversations at the top of the list. 
  • Spaces: see a compact list of all your spaces, including pinned conversations at the top of the list. 
  • Mentions: helps you easily find messages from conversations and spaces where you’ve been mentioned.
