This app is missing BASIC features that were available in hangouts and the UI is worse. Add calling, video calling, the cute stickers, the ability to select multiple photos for upload, notifications appear at the bottom of my notification tray, and PLEASE make my messages appear on the right and others on the left. There's a bug I've been reporting about tapping on a photo blocks all future attempts to view photos that has not yet been fixed. This app is simply a HUGE downgrade from Hangouts. I am SO UPSET that I was FORCED OFF Hangouts to use this objectively worse app. Let me use Hangouts until this app is ready!! STOP MAKING MY LIFE WORSE.
