Hangouts

Hangouts is Google's instant messaging app designed to keep you connected with friends, family, and colleagues through text, photos, and video calls.

Express yourself with rich media. Send messages alongside photos, videos, and hundreds of emoji to add personality to every conversation. See when friends are online, when they're typing, and when they've read your messages—so you always know where the conversation stands. Messages arrive even when you're not actively logged in, ensuring you never miss important updates.

Switch from text to face-to-face instantly. Start a one-on-one conversation and jump into a video call whenever you want. Host group video chats with up to ten participants—just tap a button and you're connected. No setup required; video calling works seamlessly within the same app.

Continue conversations across your devices. Begin chatting on your computer, switch to a tablet, and finish on your phone without losing context. Hangouts syncs your messages and chat history automatically, so you can pick up exactly where you left off. Your conversation history stays organized and searchable, making it simple to find past discussions or retrieve photos someone shared with you.

Manage your presence your own way. When you're connected to Hangouts, your status shows you're available. The app doesn't offer invisible mode, so contacts will see your active status—keeping your social availability straightforward and transparent.
