tl;dr: after pushing rcs so hard for years, killing hangouts well after forgetting about it, & hiding it from gmail, google now wants you to use its (and google allo’s) successor, google chat.
…nope, can’t use it to chat with my friends and family, we all gave up on Teh Goog and I worked there for over a decade! 😆
(also, by the time you see this, they may have renamed it or introduced a competing messaging app. or both.)
And the new one they introduced will have fewer features than the old one with no plans to get it to feature parity.
Alternatively, they may make an amazing second chat app that is the smoothest you’ve ever seen and then they’ll shutter it and say “don’t worry, we rolled a couple of those features into Google Chat.”
