Google’s Hangouts messaging app is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family, but it may be time to say goodbye. Hangouts was once one of Google’s most popular apps. But lately, it’s been losing users and has been replaced by newer, more popular apps like Google Duo and Hangouts Chat. Google says that Hangouts will still be available after the August 1st deadline for using old Android phones. But if you’re not sure whether you want to keep it or not, here are five reasons why you might want to delete Hangouts:
- It’s Old: Hangouts was first released in 2013, which means it’s starting to feel a bit outdated. The latest versions of other messaging apps like Google Duo and Hangouts Chat are much more user-friendly and feature-rich.
- It Can Be Slow: One of the main reasons people use messaging apps is because they’re fast and easy to use. Unfortunately, Hangouts can sometimes be slow and laggy when loading messages or chatting with friends.
- It Can’t Handle Multiple Conversations at Once: One of the main features of other messaging apps is that they can handle multiple conversations at once. This means that you can chat with multiple people at the same time without having to wait for each message to load separately.
- It Can Be Costly: Sending messages through Hangouts can sometimes be expensive due to the app’s high data usage rates. Plus, there are often additional charges for features like video calling or group chats." ..
