Thanks Meter : 1. Thread Deleted Email Thread. Hi there, has anyone have a fix for delayed notifications from Hangouts and possibly some other apps? I've got delay about minutes, before notification come through, and when I go to conversation before notification come through there are messages unread. Already tried disabling [battery optimization] and [Restrict app background data] for Hangout but this does not fix things. I've wondered if this has something to do with issue with Nokia described at dontkillmyapp com but mine Nokia 9 doesn't have those system apps installed.

Hangouts is great. Video, voice and text chat all in one place on mobile and desktop. Nothing else offers that. Hangouts has some other unique features, like the way it handles group chats. Damn it Google, why do you kill everything good? None of your other stuff comes close to Hangouts! Time to go back to skype I guess. Hangouts was the one app my family can use personally, and I can interact with in my corporate box.
SO much for that convenience. Maybe I'll switch to something else. TBH, they may not have been that bad if Google hadn't blocked them from running any Google services from a native app.
And why as a business would we want to use it??? You stopped development on it over a year ago!!! I appreciate that search is paid for selling our search terms to advertisers. If it were a product we paid for instead, Google would chicken out and cancel it after the first sales month that wasn't a new high. Remember how we used to hate it back in the nineteen hundreds when the US had only three TV networks, which had a habit of canceling any show that wasn't the national Neilsen leader by November?
If Google had owned one of those networks back in the day, it would use the first dud show as an excuse to. There will never be one that works well until companies stop rolling their own and use a standard. The most important aspect of working well is not having to ask someone whether they have or can join a service. It would be nice to see telecom standards for video calls come about too.
This is the reason you shouldn't even rely on one of the most powerful and rich companies on earth to provide a useful service over an extended period of time. I'm glad all my Google Accounts are throwaways. Hangouts is a neat, feasible zero-fuss communications package and I use it regularly.
Any suggesti. I'm not against closed source apps but ones that claim to be privacy centric that remain closed are problematic to me. I've always been of the opinion that grown-up men don't "hang out" - only teenagers do that. Hence I've never used, or proposed the use of, that awful thing that is Google Hangouts. Also, as one of the last entrenched BlackBerry OS users yes, that's right: you'll have to pry that BlackBerry Passport from my cold, dead fingers , I was shielded from it anyways.

According to 9to5Google, Google Hangouts for consumers will be shutting down sometime in The news shouldn't come as too much of a surprise since Google essentially stopped development on the app more than a year ago.
Thankfully, there are plenty of other Google messaging apps available, such as Allo, Duo, and Android Messages. From the report: Last spring, Google announced its pivot for the Hangouts brand to enterprise use cases with Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet, so the writing has been on the wall for quite some time regarding the Hangouts consumer app's demise. As mentioned, Hangouts as a brand will live on with G Suite's Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet, the former intended to be a team communication app comparable to Slack, and the latter a video meetings platform.
Meanwhile, Google Voice calling, which was at first independent and then long integrated into Hangouts, was moved back out to its own redesigned app earlier this year. This discussion has been archived. No new comments can be posted. More Login.

Terrible experience by comparison. Re: Score: 3. While I hate hangouts with a passion I found the diamond in the rough. I can have two google voice numbers and know exactly where it comes from. Personally, the main area of growth I've seen is that I rarely have to pick up my phone and use the keypad or, much of the time, even look at the screen anymore.
I can and do accomplish almost everything conversationally. I set appointments, add things to lists, have lists read to me, send messages, perform all my navigation, make all calls, play music, start and stop my runs, set timers and query timers and alarms, set reminders both at times and locations, etc. And I never have to worry. I wish it did. But, beggars can't be choosers. Seems to make sense Score: 3. Started February , so obviously 5 years later it shuts down.
