Google to shutdown Hangouts?
San Francisco, Dec 1 (IBNS): Popular search engine Google might shutdown its Hangouts outlet by 2020, media reports said.
Hangouts was launched in 2013.
It replaced Gchat.
The Hangouts has lost several features in recent years as its makers even stopped updating the app and even took away the SMS messaging service.
"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. Meanwhile, Google has transitioned its consumer-facing messaging efforts to RCS ‘Chat’ and Android Messages following Allo’s misadventures," reported 9to5Google.
