Google Messages introduced expressive animation two months ago. Under this functionality, users get a cool animation feature that enables your still emoji to be expressed in an expressive way and makes the conversation more interesting. Now, with the latest development, if you don’t like this animation, you can also turn it off.

You can follow these simple steps to turn off the expressive animation: Navigate to the settings and then scroll down. Here you will find the new toggle option’show expressive animations’. Just tap it to turn it off.
The new option for turning off the animated expressiveness appeared with the latest Google Messenger beta 20240426_01_RC00, which indicates that the new changes are limited to those users who have already joined the beta program, while for other users it will take a while to expand this feature.
If you haven’t enrolled in the beta program and want to try this new option, you can apply for it now from the Google Play Store. Once you get registered, it will provide you with a new update immediately. Now you just need to install it and check for the option.
