A screenshot shows that Google is planning on allowing those using the Google Messages app to create a personal profile.
) showing a Profile page, it would appear that Google is going to allow Android users employing the Google Messages app to create their own profiles. The page was discovered by going to settings and searching for profiles. We need to point out that Android Police says that the Profile page was actually discovered by Esper's Mishaal Rahman, so we should give credit where credit is due. The page, currently, is not functional though.
, Google Messages users will be able to create a profile with a photo, name, and email address. Based on the screenshot, it does appear as though users will be able to decide who can view their profiles. We'd expect the options to include one setting that would allow anyone who sends you a message to view your profile if you send back a response.
Other controls would allow you to receive a notification when one of your contacts makes a change to his/her profile, and one that would send you a notification when a new contact is found. At the moment, we have no idea when or if Google plans on launching this feature. It's probably a good idea since most people are not going to remember every person they've ever engaged in an online chat. A quick look at a user's profile might restore their memories.Get the most important news, reviews and deals in mobile tech delivered straight to your inbox
