These features are now accessible to all Google Chat users, requiring a simple update of the app on smartphones or computers. Google has plans to expand the functionality even further in the coming weeks, including read receipts for group chats and the ability to add hyperlinks to messages, though the latter will only be available on the web version and Android devices.
