AssembleDebug was able to try the new noise cancellation feature in the latest Google Messages beta and said that it “greatly reduces the background noise.” The button to activate noise cancellation is found in the voice recording dialog box and it can be turned on before voice recording, or while a voice recording is in progress. If you’ve ever sent an audio message via Google Messages and the recipient couldn’t understand what you were saying due to the ambient noise in the background, this feature will prevent this from happening again.
