Google Messages is improving the experience for users who frequently switch SIM cards by reintroducing an easier method in its latest beta version. This update addresses user frustration, particularly in regions like Kenya, where the previous redesign made SIM switching a multi-step process.

• The new feature in Google Messages beta version messages.android_20251121_00_RC01 allows users to long-press the text compose field to access a "Switch SIM" option.
• This enhancement was reported by Android Authority and various user findings, aiming to streamline the process.
• While it's a significant improvement over the current stable version, it's a shortcut to the SIM selection screen rather than an instant one-tap toggle within the chat.
