Google introduced Magic Compose at I/O 2023, and they began releasing it at the end of May. Initially, it was only available in the US, but now Magic Compose in Google Messages is becoming available in other countries as well. When it becomes accessible, Magic Compose seems to be positioned to the left of the traditional compose user interface or after the emoji shortcut on the redesigned text field. This redesigned text field is expected to become more widely available in the beta channel.
How Google Messages Magic Compose Works
Once you tap the pencil and sparkle icon, Magic Compose sends information from up to 20 of your past messages, emojis, reactions, and URLs to Google. This helps generate suggestions that are relevant and contextual to your conversations.
Messages that include attachments, voice messages, and images aren’t sent to Google servers. However, captions for images and transcriptions for voice messages may be sent to the servers.

After the information get into the Google servers, Google “discards the messages from the servers.” This means Google does not store or use the messages to train machine learning models. Users receive a list of suggestions and choosing one will insert it into the text field. If you’ve already written something, using Magic Compose allows you to change it with one of seven styles: Remix, Excited, Chill, Shakespeare, Lyrical, Formal, or Short.
Availability of Google Messages Magic Compose
When it first came out, this feature was “only available in English on Android phones with US SIM cards.” Recently, there have been reports of it being accessible in France and the UK. To use it, you still need to be in the Play Store betas for Google Messages and Carrier Services, signed into your Google Account, and be over 18.
Google One Premium members get “priority access as more spots become available.” This means they have preference when it comes to accessing the feature as more opportunities open up.
