      Google chat was XMPP compatible. The shit that ensued after it’s decommission still stinks to this day.

      Google allo did die quickly but had some nice stuff, most messaging apps still don’t. Like change text size, use google assistant inside the app eetc.It wasn’t anything amazing but I had some fun with it

      I’ve never heard about any of the apps in the post, but killing hangouts and podcasts still hurts.

      Hangouts was the death of all Google messages for me. People I knew where using it and when they killed it no one would move over to another messaging app from Google.

        We’re on like the third generation of Google messaging apps since the death of hangouts. Giving up on Google seems like it was the smart decision.
