This allows you to organize your messages into “Personal” and “Business” tabs. Furthermore, messages with one-time passwords are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
Your smartphone can also “nudge” you, reminding you to reply to forgotten messages. Google Photos is integrated into Messages. This is how you can share videos as Google Photos links. The image quality is not affected.
