Huh? They confused 1st of July with 1st of April?
Another chat app???????
They don't get tired announcing and killing all of those chat apps????
Who's going to bother inviting friends to chat in a platform that will be killed in one year max????
It's not really new? The killed/rebranded hangouts for this awhile ago. I gave up and moved to signal. Google chat is their corporate offering and feels awkward to use for personal life, at least to me.
All of my friend group was on hangouts. I don't think Google realizes how monumentally stupid it was to kill off hangouts. Discord was really picking up in popularity and when hangouts died I moved the last of friend group to Discord.
Why in the fuck would I move them off discord back to Google?
does Google Chat supercede Hangouts or Allo? i honestly don't remember what apps do what and which are alive or dead... Google, keeping us perpetually confused.
