02/22/22 UPDATE: I've been forced into Chat & it's awful. Hangouts used to be such a 🥇 standard for messaging. Chat doesn't come close to what a beast this used to be. 10/17/15 UPDATE: New update removed the widget. I don't want to hate this app... But it's getting harder to like it. I love this app! My one peeve is that the pop up notification to reply isn't there anymore & I loved that feature on the old GTalk. That's all that's missing & then this would be the most perfect app.
