Can’t Leave Group Messages
You can leave rooms but you can’t remove yourself from group messages. As soon as you’re added to one with a large number of participants you’ll never be free of unwanted messages. You can turn off the notifications, and hide the chat, but then as soon as one of the 1000+ (or more) trollers says something, it returns. That’s a deal breakers for me. No thanks Google. Fix your product.Show lessAcriminal
Basic, clunky and has awful in-app browser
The app doesn't support opening links in real Safari. What the app calls "Safari" is an in-app browser that keeps forgetting logins. This leads to an absurd situation where I can't use Google Chat to open a Google Doc, because their own pseudo browser can't remember my Google login. You'd think the company would at least test their app with their own websites.
There's no way to share links to threads, so the whole app is a silo where information gets forgotten.
There's very little control over notifications, so the app is a constant source of both annoying nags and missed messages.Show lesskkll
Why won’t message notification go away!?!
The little red icon won’t go away! Please fix. I have no new messages either.doll987654321
Glitchy
Super glitchy. Can’t use gifs in chats anymore and the badge always shows a ‘1’ even when I’ve read all my messages.Bothinator
Trash.
This app is trash. I can’t text to any of my groups. I can’t sign into the old one. I can only see a few of the people I talk to. I hate it.addibobear4
Can’t remove people
This app is great- if you want people that don’t want to be there screeching in your ear. There’s no way to remove let alone block people from a group. People don’t get a choice whether they’re in a group or not. Perhaps make it so they get invited.TikkachuKirbt
it’s a no from me ❤️
it’s not letting me make a chat room, nor does it let others add me to their chat rooms. It’s a walmart discord.👩🏾🦯
Just Make One App That Does ALL
Can google take some design clue from China’ Wechat? One app catch it All!
Just combine Google Chat, Google Hangout, Google Meet and Google Duo into one App.
One app that can Chat, audio calls, video 1:1, video group!
It is confusing to try to explain to my mom why need so many different apps for similar tasks.
At China, even a 70-years old know to use Wechat! It’s just one App they ever need to remember!
WeChat is also Paypal, Instagram and Facebook in China. So powerful. It does pretty much everything. We can argue that is monopoly, however we can not deny it’s convenience and usability. Why can’t Google make a super app for everything!!!
I understand Google intent Google Meet as a professional app with Monthly Fee.
However, it would be so easy to design a mega communication App that is free for most users for simple 1:1 call and small group video call.
Once a user tries to launch a call with large number of ppl, this app could prompt a message for app upgrade with monthly subscription or pay-per-use to allow large group video conference.Show lessJyli1981
Hangouts was better
Hello there, let me start this by first saying that I haven’t used gchat all that much so maybe I’m not quite used to all it’s features yet but I think no matter what my point will stand: hangouts was better. I can’t frankly think of a reason why google would take something that had been used for so long and was very effective and completely change it, especially now when people are relying on online chatting platforms even more. I have used hangouts for 6 years and have never had any complaint with them, my school used it profusely for contact between teachers and students (as well as between students for group projects and clubs). Relating to this, a club I am a part of that heavily relied on hangouts as a way to communicate meeting times and important information is now struggling to figure out how to use gchat the same way - again, we haven’t used gchat that much so maybe we’re missing an important feature, but if it was truly that important it should have been more obvious to know.Show lessGMSheep626
Miss Hangouts
Why the heck is google taken down hangouts???? I love it so much and they replaced it with this piece of crap? It’s so glitchy and way worse then hangouts. GOOGLE BRING BACK HANGOUTS PLEASE! 🙏😭ebbaisme
