While Messages and RCS is how Google wants you to message friends, Google Chat also fits that role and the company today reminded us...

tl;dr: after pushing rcs so hard for years, killing hangouts well after forgetting about it, & hiding it from gmail, google now wants you to use its (and google allo’s) successor, google chat.

    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???

      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.
