And apparently they're nuking support for Hangouts for non-business people?

They cancel them so quickly nowadays that I haven't even gotten around to trying them.

I mean, that product has been dated and dying for years. Allo is getting the ax too.

It's confusing though. Apparently they're killing consumer Hangouts and rolling out their Enterprise Hangouts chat app to consumers. lol

My crew has made the switch to Discord for everything now, which is... fine, I guess?

The really baffling part is that Hangouts tied directly in to Android messaging. For a while, I was the only one that had to use an extra app in order to communicate with that group.

Yeah. Hopefully they can actually make Messages the solution. I hope they can integrate Google voice with it.

I use WhatsApp and Facebook messenger for most of my group chats.

I should look at WhatsApp. We're all getting as far away from Facebook as we possibly can.
