About this icon

Use the Android Messages icon

The Android Messages icon from Material Symbols fits naturally in messaging apps, email clients, contact forms, notification systems, CRM dashboards, and live chat widgets. Its fill style makes it ideal for interface components and product UI.

Open it in IconStash to set stroke color via presets or a custom hex value, choose an exact pixel size (16–512px), control stroke width (0.1–3px), and preview against dark, light, or checkered backgrounds before downloading.

Export formats

Copy clean SVG vectors with one click, generate custom-size PNG files from 16px to 512px, export JSX/React components ready to paste into your project, or use the icon as a CSS background-mask for flexible theming.

All exports are based on the same editable vector — so the Android Messages icon stays pixel-perfect at 16px, 24px, 48px, and any large marketing size.

Design & UX integration

Aesthetic characteristics

Android Messages belongs to Google's Material Symbols, which replaces static icon files with a variable font. Weight, Fill, Grade and Optical Size are all adjustable axes, so one file covers what used to need five. Optical Size is the most useful: the glyph is subtly redrawn for small sizes rather than just scaled down.

UX best practices

In messaging, contact and notification UI, the Android Messages icon should help users triage at a glance. Keep any unread badge small and anchored to the top-right corner, and never rely on the badge alone — expose the count in the accessible name so screen-reader users get the same signal.
