Or simply want to chat with your friends on their platform without nervously keeping a finger on the pulse. Chat in gmail, or hangouts? Oh that’s google plus now, wait it isn’t plus. Google voice? Google duo? Is that still a thing? Is Google meet the same as hangouts?
All my friends churned away from google’s IM solutions and I doubt we’re ever coming back. Who’s got time for all that?
They moved chat from gmail for a while exclusively to Google+ to promote it, killing off their chat advantage and end the end they also failed to make Google+ take off.
