Google Meet, on the other hand, is more useful when you have a G Suite subscription. Add to this the seamless integration with Google Docs and you have yourself a must-have collaboration messaging platform that runs on any Smartphone or computer with a web browser. As a veteran internet user from the times of Newsgroups, bulletin board forums and having discussions over email, being able to reply to a specific message is a game changer when it comes to large group chats. The main appeal for Chat to me is the threaded chats. The Chat and Meet parts of the Hangouts experience are what sets Google Hangouts apart from the heaps of IM apps available today. Things might get confusing, but in addition to the main app and the dialer app, there are two more Hangouts apps from Google if you’re on Android, and an additional site if you’re on the web. However, if get the Hangouts Dialer app, or go into the dialer calls sections in the web applet, and you’ll be able to make free phone calls to phone numbers in the US and Canada. So far, they only stand out by bringing your email contacts into your typical instant messaging application automatically.

They offer the standard voice and video calling features and sharing options, including the best location sharing experience I’ve had to date. They come with clean designs and almost never crash or lag in my experience. Its main app for Android and its dedicated site don’t offer anything to wow you right away. Overall Opinion: Google Hangouts’ availability on multiple platforms is one of its key strengths.
