As of June 2020 this service will only be offered to consumer accounts, which is basically anyone with an or email address. Google Hangouts is Google's longest-running messaging and video chat service. Click each name below to go straight to its in-depth overview.

Here's a quick overview of Google's various chat and video services.

We'll pass this along to the team so they can review and make the Chat app even better.You're not alone in wondering this, and it's all a little hard to untangle. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. You guys really need to work on that, either than that, recommend your app as the best app ever. Unlike messenger or any other with similar features, you can block someone and unblock to chat with that same person and can also report that person if you find that person ain’t the person you wanted or if that person is trying to scam you…. For example, I want to block someone for a while, not permanently, but immediately I tap on that feature “block and report”, the person’s gmail is been taken out of google and can’t be found again to replace. The features “block and report”, that should be two things because they’re of different meanings, so it shouldn’t play a single role when you tap on it. Google chat here, seems a bit complicated as compared to that of hangouts, I said this because, there’s not difference in the chat when you’re chatting with a friend or a family member… unlike hangouts, senders text is always at right and receivers text is always at left, that alone make it simple for you to understand your conversation easier, but here’s the case, google chat normally has the two so close to each other and also on one part of the chat surface.Īnother view to your app so far, I don’t know if others might’ve also realized that as well. This has been most people challenge on here We ask that you submit feedback within the Chat app by clicking the Menu button then 'Help & feedback' and tap 'Send Feedback'. Also, we'll pass this along to the team so they can review and make the Chat app even better. If that doesn't work, try clearing the app’s cache and storage: Device settings > Applications > Google Chat > Storage > Clear cache. Check your internet connection and make sure you have updated the Google Chat app to the most recent version. Check out the following article to learn everything about sending and sharing files in chat messages. Yes, you can react with emojis, and my mom no longer accidentally calls me when she leaves the chat open on her phone. There’s really almost nothing that’s an improvement here. Again, Google trying to keep you tethered to their products.

WTAF the computer app isn’t a standalone app! You have to have Gmail open in Chrome to be able to use it even though you have to install it separately. I’m used to it, but toggling back and forth to figure out where the new message is is still a nuisance. Separation of individuals and “rooms” confused everyone in my family (we use this as our primary communication). Why on earth does it keep a copy of every link or image I send in the chat text box? Why would I want that when it’s right there as the last thing I sent? I hate having to delete it just to continue the conversation. Hangouts shared videos right away, so I know they don’t have to do it like this. Here are all the problems I’ve encountered: - Can’t share files unless they’re in Google Drive (Google trying to limit you to using their products) - Videos are uploaded when you share them, which means it takes FOREVER.

I’m so tired of this nonsensical app that I have to say something. Once again, I’m waiting a ridiculous amount of time for a friend’s video to upload in Google Chat so I can watch it.
