TL;DR

  • Google is widely rolling out a “Mark as read” button for Google Messages notifications on Wear OS.
  • The new button only appears when a Messages notification first arrives.
  • moji reactions, which we previously spotted in development alongside the new button, are still not available.

Google is now rolling out the ability to mark Google Messages as read directly from notifications on Wear OS. We spotted and reported this feature last month in an APK teardown of the Google Messages app, and it now appears to be rolling out to all users on the beta as well as stable versions of the Google Messages app for Wear OS.
