Many are the efforts that have been put into Google both to have their social network and for users to end up using any of their various instant messaging applications. Despite all this, this is one of the big issues for the company since neither Google Hangouts nor Allo seem to achieve the expected success.
With this in mind, it is especially striking how Google still does not throw in the towel and now it is time to place a new bet. The idea is to develop a new evolution for Google Hangouts so that it can be positioned as a platform for instant messaging that companies like, a kind of tall competitor for Slack.
Evolution consists of creation of two applications now known as Chat and Meet, both can work together and separately since they are oriented towards completely different objectives, we suppose that with the idea of being able to further expand the Google application ecosystem and maximize compatibility with other services.
Google Hangouts Meet.
First of all we have the application known as Meet, which basically consists of a product through which we can make video calls, functionality that Google Hangouts already offered, but this time it has been redesigned, according to the company, to be much simpler, intuitive and modern.
Among the main novelties, perhaps the most interesting, is that it has managed to significantly reduce data consumption both on PC and mobile devices compared to previous versions of the system. As a detail, tell you that this application is now available for download on Google Play.
Google Hangout Chat.
As for Chat, as its name suggests, we are talking about a messaging application as such where, to the already known functionalities, the option is added that, within the same group, in addition to individual chats, channels can be created what we can talk about more specific things without the need to disturb other users. As a detail, tell you that it is one of the most used features of Slack.
