Yay. I'm a bigger fan of Allo. Hangouts is just taking up space.

Google love changing names of their apps that do the same thing as the one before it. I think they are just bad at marketing to be honest. theres nothing wrong with hand out but somehow they failed to market it. one app that can handle SMS online messaging video calls conference calls, you can't really complain. now we have to put up with duo and allo that's terrible and never really work lol

Whoever is in charge of developing messaging apps at Google is a pure duffus.
Instead of focusing on one messaging app that does it all and works flawlessly, they've decided to make multiple apps that work poorly and lack expected basic functionality.

I know that Google apps are not that popular between android users, but I really liked the features hangout was providing (sms + chat). I've also enjoyed merged chat with sms, and lots of my friends are using hangout. I'm not a big fan of Google Plus but I don't want the app to be discontinued because lot of people are using it.

Ask yourself something if you use IOS message app how comes they know how many messages were sent and how many photos were used in a message. Don't fool yourself thinking that its only Google at least when you download a google app they tell that they are using the camera to look at you it's your choice to download it. Please get a clue if you are using the internet in any form even if its not from Google they know what they are doing

"Thus, Hangouts' faith is still quite uncertain and while Google is sticking to its promise not to retire it". Should rather be, "Thus, Hangouts' fate..."

First they axed the better known Nexus branding in favor of Pixel. And then they're sidelining the better recieved hangouts for some dopey named messenger apps. Google is a mess at times.
