New features from Google Chat optimize your experience, you can prioritize and find important conversations easily.
In 2023, Google has many new improvements in Google Chat to simplify users’ communication such as declutter conversation, smart compose, read receipt in group Chat or add hyperlinks to text. Now, they are launching more availability of three features concentrating on a new integrated experience.
First, Google redesigns the left-side navigation panel by introducing a “Shortcuts” to get quick access to “Home” and “Mentions” buttons. They are able to lead users to their pending chat, conversations that need to respond or even the messages which someone directly mentioned to them. It can help them to stay on top of the buzzing flow of communication.
Second, the company initiates the “Home” button which is the place to manage and catch up on other users’ chat messages. Users are able to filter and see only their following threads or unread conversations. They can also open a conversation or reply from the home view which is convenient. It’s unnecessary to manually search pending discussions or topics from each chat themselves.

While the third feature “Mentions” provides the visibility into the conversation addressed particularly to users. After clicking “Mentions”, it will search for any conversation that someone mentioned to them, and will navigate users to the specific message. Nevertheless, it will be listed separately between direct message and space sections. The list of messages which users have been “@-mentioned” will be sorted by chronological periods. And their unread messages will be highlighted in light blue colors that will be differentiated easily.

Google Chat develops smart features helping users stay on top of busy flow conversations, and focus on important topics relevant to them. Especially, when they receive a large number of chats, and might fail to notice, leading to miss reply on some messages. Just simply click on a message in the “Home” or “Mentions”, it will bring them directly to the conversations or threads where they should respond or unread messages. So they can keep track of messages and catch up with the most recent communications in Google Chat.
