The change seems to be for the majority of users, and it seems to have happened in recent weeks. Before, when you were to start a new chat, you'd get a grid of"Top contacts" on the"New conversation" page. Below it, you will find all the contacts alphabetically.

However now, this"Top contact" section is just plainly... missing. You'd have to go find the contact from the alphabetical order, and that, for some may be quite the annoying change. If you're one of the people who frequently archive conversations or have a lot of threads, losing the ability to jump to one of your top contacts from that page might be annoying.

There's a workaround though: you can pin conversations to the top of the Google Messages home screen, so that can help you quickly find the one you need, at least if you're one of the people with many threads. It seems that that's most likely not a bug but a planned revamp. Google Messages has been getting changed here and there recently. Like, another similar change that's in the testing currently is a fullscreen"Select recipients" page that allows you to select multiple contacts.A discussion is a place, where people can voice their opinion, no matter if it is positive, neutral or negative.
