![]() ![]() The easiest way to tell if a conversation is using old-fashioned text messaging or the new chat features is to look at the text box before you start typing. The iOS 16 Developer Beta appears to be supporting a similar translation for reactions sent over SMS. ![]() In the meantime, Google has improved its Messages app to correctly display reaction icons sent by Apple's phones instead of showing a text describing who "Liked" your message. But despite Google's campaign, the chances of Apple supporting RCS appear bleak. RCS now has the support of the three major US carriers with Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T committing to make Google's Messages app the default on Android phones sold by the carriers. These include typing indicators, encryption and higher-quality photo and video sharing. Google's Messages app is now the default texting app for most Android phones, and the RCS standard allows for features that are similar to Apple's iMessage without requiring a specific type of phone or setting up a third-party texting app. We’re fully committed to supporting Hangouts users in the meantime.While RCS-powered texting is currently only available on Android phones, Google reported in May that there are now half a billion people actively using the standard in its Messages app. ![]() Hangouts Chat and Meet are primarily focused on team collaboration for G Suite customers and at some point will be made available for existing Hangouts users, too. ![]() In the coming months, Chat customers will be able to include people from outside of their organization, making it easy to stay aligned with clients, vendors, partners and others, all from one place. Recently, we announced the ability to organize meetings with up to 100 participants in Meet and made it easier for businesses to use meeting solutions without worrying about compatibility with existing equipment. We’ve seen great adoption with both among our G Suite customers. In March of last year, we announced plans to evolve classic Hangouts to focus on two experiences that help bring teams together: Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet. We also launched the ability to leave a video message, and will continue to bring more quality improvements based on machine learning that make video calls with Duo simple and reliable.Ĭontinuing our enterprise focus with HangoutsĬommunications at work, on both desktop and mobile, is critical to business success. This year we launched Duo support for iPad, Android Tablet, Chromebook, and Smart Displays, giving you more flexibility to make calls from your favorite devices. It’s one of Google's highest rated mobile apps and is seeing strong growth and engagement across both Android and iOS. We built Duo, our simple, high-quality video calling app, so you never miss a moment with the people who matter most. We've learned a lot from Allo, particularly what’s possible when you incorporate machine learning features, like the Google Assistant, into messaging. Given Messages’ continued momentum, we’ve decided to stop supporting Allo to focus on Messages.Īllo will continue to work through March 2019 and until then, you’ll be able to export all of your existing conversation history from the app- here are instructions on how to do so. Earlier this year we paused investment in Allo and brought some of its most-loved features-like Smart Reply, GIFs and desktop support-into Messages. In parallel, we built Google Allo, a smart messaging app, to help you get more done in your chats and express yourself more easily. Thanks to partnerships with over 40 carriers and device makers, over 175 million of you are now using Messages, our messaging app for Android phones, every month. We’ve been working closely with the mobile industry to upgrade SMS so that people around the world can more easily enjoy group chats, share high-res photos, and get read receipts on any Android device. We want every single Android device to have a great default messaging experience. Investing more in Messages, and bringing the best of Allo to Messages Over the past few years, we’ve built products to help improve the way you communicate and today we’re sharing an update on our current efforts, and our focus moving toward a simpler communications experience. Communicating with the people in our lives is one of the most important things we do every day, whether it’s chatting with friends about an upcoming trip, calling mom to check in, or touching base with colleagues. ![]()
