    Why they just didn’t update Hangouts with new features instead of launching two new apps is a mystery to me. Great way to lose all reputation that was left.

      It’s sad how in an era where name recognition means everything, they removed Hangouts when it was a widely known, positive brand. Made me really question their product/marketing team lol

      It’s because Google’s corporate culture rewards new products over maintaining old ones. They’ll happily dump a product even with tens of millions of users to push a new one. Funnily enough the main Google products I see consistent mainstream usage of is all the old ones.
