The search titan is consolidating these services, from Google Chat to Google Docs and Meet, onto one platform for Gmail users. They're also available to enterprise customers as Google Workspace, which supports accounts with custom email addresses and cloud computing capabilities. Google Hangouts was designed as an instant-messaging app operating across multiple platforms for its now defunct social network platform Google+. In 2013, it was spun out as a separate app but failed to gain much visible traction compared to alternatives such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Telegram.
Google started porting Workspace customers over to Meet and Chat from Hangouts in 2020. Gmail users were also asked to transition last year before Hangouts is discontinued forever. Chat will be Google's dominant messaging platform going forward. Google said it will integrate more features, allowing users to make direct calls, start in-line threads in Spaces, and share and view multiple images.
