Full Story
Google is adding a new noise cancellation feature for voice recordings in Google Messages. This feature will help reduce background noise in voice messages to make it easier for the recipient to understand what is being said. The noise cancellation button can be pressed while making a recording to clear up distracting noises in the background and leave the voice clear and easily understandable. This is especially helpful when recording voice messages in noisy environments, such as on the streets of a city.
Screenshots of the noise cancellation switch on and off in the voice recording dialogue box show how the feature looks in the Google Messages app. The new noise cancellation feature is available on the latest beta version of the Google Messages app, specifically on beta version 20231113_01_RC00. It greatly reduces the background noise and can be turned on before or during voice recording. This feature aims to prevent recipients from struggling to understand voice messages due to ambient noise in the background.
If you want to try out the new noise cancellation feature, make sure you have the latest beta version of Google Messages installed on your Android phone. You can check the version of Google Messages by going to Settings > Apps and tapping on Messages. If you don’t have the Google Messages app installed, you can find it in the Play Store under the name “Messages by Google.”
