Google launches a wonderful new fresh version of Hangouts version 4.0
From the Google Blog:
Google Hangouts: now simpler, faster, more beautiful.
The best conversations just flow: you barely have to think about what to
say. With Hangouts, we want to help you stay in the moment, no matter
what device you’re using or how you’re getting your voice across, from
texting to talking to video. So we’ve been hard at work on big
improvements to make Hangouts faster, simpler, and easier on the eyes.
Today, we’re releasing Google Hangouts 4.0 for Android, with a fresh new look, improved speed, and features that make it even easier to reach people the way you want to reach them.
Here's what’s new:
- Hangouts is sleeker. Now updated with material design, Hangouts has a new look and feel: items respond to your touch in more intuitive ways and transitions between tasks are more fluid.
- Hangouts is simpler. The new Compose button makes it easier for you to start a new group or conversation. Our streamlined contacts list helps you find the right person quickly. And attachments have been revamped and simplified, so sharing—of emoji, GIFs, your location, even multiple photos at once—is a snap.
- Hangouts is faster. Whether you’re sending a quick message or video chatting with family, you don’t want hold-ups. We’ve been obsessively fixing bugs and speeding up message delivery to make Hangouts faster and more reliable. Bonus: less battery consumption.
And more…
Make affordable calls from the Hangouts Dialer,
now with Outbound Caller ID (so your friends won’t get any more calls
from the great “Unknown”). Receive and reply to group MMS messages in
Hangouts using Google Voice.
Use Hangouts on Android Wear when you
really have an eye on the time (just say, “Ok Google, send a Hangouts
message,” into your watch). And if you’re not around but want friends to
know what’s on your mind? Custom status messages are back.
The new Hangouts starts rolling out to Android users today and will be
available in the Play Store (iOS users recently got many of the same
updates). We hope you enjoy the new look and feel. And we look forward
to keeping the conversation flowing!
