The messaging application called Hangouts, launched by the US-based technology giant Google in 2013, has come to the end of the road. According to the statements made on Google’s official blog page, Hangouts users will start to receive a notification as of today. With this notification, users will be directed to the application called Chat, which is integrated into Gmail.
As a matter of fact, it’s hardly surprising that Hangouts has come to an end. In a statement made in 2020, the company said that it would unplug Hangouts, but did not mention how the process would work. The statement made today also reveals what awaits users.

According to the statements made by Google, users using Hangouts will not have any difficulties for migration. Google says that chats will be automatically moved under the Chat service, allowing users to do so is sufficient for transactions.
Google Hangouts is a service that can also be used as a web version. If you are using this application as a web version, you will not receive any notification for now. In the statements made by the company, it was stated that web version users will start to be warned in the future. In the meantime, it should be noted that there is also the opportunity to download data for those who give up on the application. You can back up all your messages so far and download them to your computer.
After all this process is over, Google Hangouts will now be removed from the dusty shelves of history. The deadline announced by Google is November 2022…
