Google Messages will now issue warnings if you log out or change accounts

Google Messages is now rolling out a new logout screen for beta users who log out of the app or switch Google accounts while using the app.

If you use Google Messages, you’re probably signed into the app with your Google account. You may also be using multiple Google accounts and find yourself switching between them in the app.

Since some of Google Messages’ features are account-based, the app has now started warning users about features they’ll lose if they log out or change accounts. The feature was spotted by a tipster Assemble Debug, who also managed to grab some screenshots for our benefit. Take a look at how the new Google Messages logout warning screen appears in the latest beta version of the app. It should also be rolled out to the stable version of the app soon.

As you can see from the images, if you decide to use Google Messages without a Google account or change accounts, you will be notified about the loss of features like Magic Compose and device pairing.

There is also an option that allows users to stop profile discovery for their phone numbers. “People who know your phone number may not be able to find you in Google products and services” if you select this option.
