A new SIM Switch feature has been introduced to Google Messages, the default messaging app for Android.

The SIM Switch feature introduced to the Google Messages app allows users with dual SIMs to easily specify which SIM (phone number) to use for sending directly from the message composition screen. Previously, users had to either set a default phone number or select the SIM after hitting the send button, but the SIM Switch feature now makes it easy to choose the SIM from the composition screen.

This SIM Switch feature in the Google Messages app was rolled out in the latest app update distributed around Wednesday, October 8, 2025.
