Google Messages Tests Bulk Forwarding: What the Beta Reveals

Google Messages may finally be fixing one of its most complained-about limitations. Researchers at Android Authority enabled a bulk forwarding feature inside the latest beta build, walking through the complete flow end to end: select multiple texts and images, tap a new overflow menu, preview the batch, and send. The feature is not publicly available, is described as a work in progress, and carries no release timeline. The gap it addresses is hard to miss once you've run into it. Select multiple images in a Google Messages conversation right now, and the app offers exactly two choices: delete or download. No forward option exists. Text messages are worse in a different way: the three-dot menu that contains the Forward option disappears the moment a second message is selected, forcing users to repeat the entire sequence for each item individually. The beta feature would collapse all of that into a single operation. How the Google Messages forward multiple messages feature works in betaA
