Google was continuously working on Hangouts and adding various new features. Google Chat: 10,000,000+ installs, 2.8 review score. In the following years, many similar apps appeared. ![]() Oh, and Google (and more importantly major Google shareholders), the numbers speak for themselves: Doesn't hurt to leave a negative review on your reasons for leaving in the play store either.

Within rooms you can share and discuss Docs, Sheets, and Slides all in one place and in real-time. Messaging applications are a dime a dozen, and there's many out there which combine all the things that Hangouts had which Google took a wrecking ball to. New features of Google Hangouts Chat include: Users can collaborate in an organized way either in one-to-one chat or by chatting in more permanent group spaces called rooms. Google Chat is a hot steaming featureless pile of garbage, and I hope people don't just settle, and use this opportunity to exit the Google messaging space entirely. That said, they really screwed up on this. Time and time and time again they show this, with a massive growing graveyard of successful products that will now include Hangouts. What I don't understand is why the shareholders haven't realized that the reason their things fail (also why people are fleeing Google's own work suites back to Microsoft O365) is because Google has proven that it's completely disorganized, and unable to commit to long-term stability and maintainability in their products. If their history has proven anything, it's that they will kill hugely successful products on a whim, and then fabricate unrelated reasons why thing like Stadia fail. I highly doubt Google is going to give a crap about any of these threads.
