Videos and images in Google Messages have a smooth new animation (APK teardown)

Google Messages may introduce a new animation for the media player.

Videos and images now slide into view from the bottom of the screen instead of fading in and out.

You can also swipe down to close an image or video.

Google is not new to tweaking its apps. Sometimes, those changes improve the experience, make the experience worse, or have no effect at all. The next tweak is coming for the Messages app, and it seems like an update that will fall into the improved category.
