Earlier in February 2022, Google replaced Google Hangouts app for Workspace users with the newer ‘Google Chat’. The company is now set to completely shut down the older Hangouts later this year, moving all current users of the platform to Google Chat.
The company revealed in blog post –
Google Hangouts will be taken down in November 2022.
All desktop and mobile users will be asked to migrate to Google Chat.
In the words of Google –
“Starting today, people using Hangouts on mobile will see an in-app screen asking them to move to Chat in Gmail or the Chat app. Similarly, people who use the Hangouts Chrome extension will be asked to move to Chat on the web or install the Chat web app. In July, people who use Hangouts in Gmail on the web will be upgraded to Chat in Gmail.”
Hangouts users will still see an in-product notice at least a month before Hangouts web is taken down. After this, Hangouts web will begin automatically redirecting visitors to Google Chat web.
Google Hangouts was introduced in 2013.
After almost a decade, it’s time to say Goodbye to Google Hangouts.
