Arguably the worst iteration of Google Chat to date. Near constant issues just sending basic text messages ( taking 30+ seconds to send simple messages, if at all ). Having the video call button directly next to the options drop-down. If that weren't bad enough, accidental calls have to be canceled through the phones notifications instead of from within the app itself just seems like a terrible design decision.

Hi, Paul. Sorry to hear that. Please check these steps to know more about why you can't send messages: goo.gle/3wRewyh. Also, we'll pass this along to the team so they can review and make the Chat app even better. Thank you!

UPDATE (3/22/24) The new Google Chat is AWESOME! Thanks for making the necessary changes Google! Original Review: It's so close but has one fatal flaw. It doesn't allow you to delete or edit entries like slack, Whatsapp, and Microsoft teams do. That's a major, major miss and prevents me from using this as my primary cross platform communication tool with friends and family. To make matters worse, I think it's a business decision because I understand the corporate version has this feature.

Undesired invitations remain in grey. They cannot be deleted. I never with Not very functional. Images cannot be copied and pasted in later conversations. When I engage in a conversation only the very last message from the person I am texting displays. All others disappear. But my own messages remain as I have history turned on. The other person is pinned as they are the only person I text with. Needs more work before replacing hangouts. I do not want the app to access my calendar or contacts.
