Leave a Review Google Chat
Upgrade
I don’t see any similarities between this app and hangout and to make it worse you take out the voice call option and now forcing everyone to use Google chat☹️☹️ that’s so ridiculous… All of my colleagues at work who use hangout said they don’t like Google chat and it’s all because of these voice call, that would definitely be a plus and make Google chat less stressful than it already is.. I can’t see how many minutes my friends where online anymore, just active and away Mehn that’s not cool you guys really have to reconsider your option or think about putting hangout back on here for everyone and not force us to use something because you guys think it’s nicer without considering every other persons opinion and this is a market place but you treat your customers like we don’t have opinions.. please take your time to understand my review I really love Google apps and I want hangout app back or put the voice call option on Google chat please thank you guys.. we are family I hope my opinion matters, LOVEShow lessogbonni

Hi, there. We appreciate you taking the time to share feedback with us and helping us make the Chat app even better! We'll pass this on to the team. Thanks!Hangouts much better, chat is horrible
I have been using google hangouts for 2 years now. It was easy to navigate, add people, voice call and video call. But now they replaced it with google chat which is horrible. In google chat you can voice and video call anyone, and it’s really hard to add someone. Very bad app too complicated to use. Please add back hangouts I am very displeased. I can’t use hangouts anymore it’s forcing me to use google chat.
If you want to make this better, make it less complicated to add people and navigate, and make it that you can call people. Hangouts will always be remembered but not google chatShow lessheckre

Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We're sorry to hear that. We'll pass this along to the team so they can review and make the Chat app even better. Thank you!I want this hangouts feature please
I doubt that this will work but I’m giving it a try.
Me and my friend group always have used hangouts and it was amazing and google chat is more like a productive “work chat” app. If there is anyway this message can be seen by one of the Devs who works on this it would be amazing but my friends and I really want the feature that hangouts has that shows who has read the messages. Whether it could be an option a space manager could toggle or just active all the time. It would be so useful to tell who has been active and reading the chats. Thank you
(In a direct message I have noticed it does show you when the person has read a message and what the last message they read was but I’m talking about adding this feature to the Spaces/Group Chats. Maybe it could be added like a space manager could toggle the feature since I’m sure not everyone would like to have it active all the time but it would be awesome just like in hangouts)Show lessCycry060

Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We're sorry to hear that. We'll pass this along to the team so they can review and make the Chat app even better. Thank you!This app is not for social chats
I liked Hangouts. I don’t know why they are discontinuing it! At least you can keep your chats and history though. This app is more on the professional side with documents, meetings, and projects that is good, don’t get me wrong. However, I used Hangouts for social chats so those things aren’t that useful. What is really bothering me is that there isn’t chat bubbles so everything is squished together and you can’t tell who said what. When I sent a picture, I sent it like 3 times on accident because it kept on saying the message failed to send. Also, you can’t tell if the other people in the “chat space” read the messages like it did in Hangouts. They also removed the stickers! Although this app is good for professional chats and business meetings, it wasn’t as good as Hangouts was for social group chats.Show lessPura_Fide
Stupid app
I’m not happy that you have closed down HANGOUTS and replaced it with this stupid App, GOOGLE CHAT….You said you can do more with it? What a load of rubbish. It’s garbage. Can’t send stickers only emojis, you can’t delete a message unless you delete the whole chat. I was just getting comfortable with Hangouts and you replaced it with thisStupid GOOGLE CHAT, I hate it, it’s for young people. Not for us oldies.
C’mon Google, Get with the times and stop catering for the young at heart, think about us oldies who aren’t techno savvy.
Kind regards

Hi there. We will pass this on to the team as we are working hard to make Google Chat better over time. Thank you!Finding friends you thought would not talk to you
People you find who you think would never talk to you in an actual fact are just people like my self.lancey1
Works! (mobile+5, browser -5 yet) see 6.
1. :D :-D works and does NOT change to smilie. AWESOME because it reflects me speaking to someone who is not like me, but is a dear friend.
2. Uploading photo did not take a lot of time at all.
3. It is easy to see who said what. Those who can’t, simply hate change because there is a WHOLE LINE of white space between people speaking!
4. Longer text do work, but have not checked Nanowrimo type work sending. I only have 10 lines in my trial. Friend and I used to send “what we wrote during word wars” back and forth. These would be around 2000 words.
5. No longer have to wait and wait and wait for Archived Messages to load up as a thing to select. I never archive messages anyway.
6. Browser: In browser I still need to be able to POP CHAT OUT. So still trying to figure this out. I need to look at chat while discussing email sometimes but chat covers email which is NOT ADA compliant! Too hard to discuss email with brain damage. Having phone app up AND email on 2 different devices is stupid as a work around! Thank you!Show lessTpkyt

Hi there. Thanks for your review! We'd like to help you. Let us know more about your question. Alternatively, if you continue to experience issues with this please create a post in our Google Chat Help Community for our community of experts to assist: goo.gle/3oyMdBr.Honestly this is bad. I miss hangouts.
Ive been using hangouts for 3 years and I accidentally deleted it. So, I was forced to download google chat. After hearing my friends say how awful it was, I was weary. But, they were right. It’s very hard to navigate, I can’t see other peoples statuses, I can’t change my profile picture, I can’t change it from light mode to dark mode, I can’t directly audio/meet my friends, all the chat on one side is just horrible on the eyes, and it’s very hard to send pictures and videos. It takes upwards of 5 minutes to send one picture let alone more. It will only let you send one picture at a time and not a couple like any normal app would. However, I use hangouts to talk to friends, I guess it would be fine if I used it for business? But I miss hangouts.Show lessBreePalmer
