Hangouts was the death of all Google messages for me. People I knew where using it and when they killed it no one would move over to another messaging app from Google.
Google allo did die quickly but had some nice stuff, most messaging apps still don’t. Like change text size, use google assistant inside the app eetc.It wasn’t anything amazing but I had some fun with it
I have no idea how they could omit Hangouts.
Allo, on the other hand, which was supposed to replace Hangouts, did not live as long as Hangouts and should probably remain forgotten.

We’re on like the third generation of Google messaging apps since the death of hangouts. Giving up on them seems like it was the smart decision.
Google chat was XMPP compatible. The shit that ensued after it’s decommission still stinks to this day.
I’ve never heard about any of the apps in the post, but killing hangouts and podcasts still hurts.

And if Google had any sense, those were all improvements they should have just brought to Hangouts, haha.
But why improve a service when we can just create a competitor that does 2 things better, 5 things worse, and 1 crucial thing not at all?
