Only confirmed last monthSay goodbye to Google Bookmarks bookmark service(It’s time to say goodbye. There’s no time when I won’t say goodbye). In August, Google seems to want to free you from the Hangouts messaging service that has been declared dead but has not yet set a death date. Continue reading Is the death of Hangouts imminent?

Is the death of Hangouts imminent? Google provides a “thoughtful (?)” transfer button to help you log out at the same time
As soon as Google Chat came out, it seemed that it also determined the fate of other messaging services of the same brand to fade out of the market? That is, although officials did confirm that Hangouts will be replaced and data will be transferred to Google Chat.

Now, it’s being looked at as a possible move by Google to bring out the countdown clock. It seems that the transfer of Hangouts related data to Chat will indeed be launched in the first half of this year as promised. Recently, Google has begun to push promotional blue notifications in the Android and iOS versions of Hangouts. In addition to providing relevant explanation pages that can be clicked to understand, it also provides a “Switch to Chat in Gmail” notification button.
Interestingly, the latter button to move to Google Chat not only directs you to Gmail to use Chat. Unexpectedly, it can help you Hangouts directly Hang up Sign out of your account.

It has to be said that although you can log back in to Hangouts later and resume using it. However, this “transferred” action can be explained as reducing confusion caused by two apps receiving messages at the same time. But it still feels a bit forced – in fact, it is forced XD.
Well, I can only say that “you will be logged out sooner or later, why not log out now”. Judging from the fact that Google sends services to the grave from time to time, you may not only encounter it in the Hangouts service in the future. But this also makes people speculate that maybe these actions really mean that the farewell day of Hangouts, which has been with everyone for a long time, is really not far away?
