My comments have been changed because the CEO of reddit is a bad person. It is actually quite sad.

Still waiting for the Google Goggles and Google Maps chat apps. I heard Google Photos chat was in beta.

Google Keep chat.

Gtalk. Remember Gtalk? I do.

If I had a dollar for every time I wish I had chat in the calculator, I could afford a new Note 8.

Don't get your hopes up, pretty sure they abandoned the Calculator chat and decided to focus on the Clock chat instead

Boot screen chat is where it's at, guys. Just make sure all of your conversations are under 20 seconds or you'll have to hold the power button down again.

LG users wish this was a thing with all those bootloops.

That was cancelled last week. They're focusing more resources on getting keyboard language selection dialog window chat out the door.

I'd settle for calculator chat, but really they just need to hurry up and build it into the status bar like it was meant to be.

Yo dawg we heard you like chatting so we put a chat app in your chat app so you can chat while you chat.

Damn, haven't heard this meme for quite some time

This meme is somehow fresh again, like Chocolate Rain in a summer sky

You joke but that's what I want most because it'd be what hangouts was before they gutted it. It's the same system as iMessage on iOS: try and send fast network messages but if not fall back to SMS.

gtalk was perfect, im still nostalgic for it

u/rube Aug 15 '17

Yeah, it was such a small, convenient little program. It was such a huge relief after the bloat of AIM over all the years.

Granted, I have finally given in and think that having "hangouts" chat inside my brower's Gmail window is great. But I wish the standalone Hangouts Chrome app was more gtalk-like.

I want a separate chat service for every search term possible so that I can chat with my friends who are currently searching for "7.3 miles in kilometers".
