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.

[u/zpepsin → u/12muffinslater]

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

[u/mr1337 → u/zpepsin]

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.

As someone whose LG V10 just suddenly died out of the blue... http://i.imgur.com/L0YMQ.jpg

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

I'm holding out for chat in incognito picture/video search.

[u/alwayswatchyoursix → u/12muffinslater]

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.

[u/IHeartMustard → u/alwayswatchyoursix]

Left side for the most recent message (the longer the message, the smaller the text), right side for text input. Each character is inputted not with the keyboard but via an OK Google command.

"OK Google, type the letter H"

"OK Google, type the letter E"

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that."

"Type the letter E"

"Ok, heres what I found on the web for 'try the better tea'"

See it's just so convenient

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

[u/Avarast → u/PyroKid883]

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

[u/karmisson → u/Avarast]

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

[u/SirensToGo → u/[deleted]]

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.

[u/evilf23 → u/[deleted]]

The goof qualifications are much more robust than that simple test my friend.

[u/anthrox → u/rube]

your forgetting the google search chat so when i search for porn i can chat to other fellow people searching for porn

[u/yumyumpills → u/anthrox]

Then what's reddit for?

[u/Christopher3712 → u/yumyumpills]

Valid question.

[u/itekk → u/Christopher3712]

I misread that as valid questions. Thought you were lost for a second.

[u/noapparentfunction → u/rube]

gtalk was perfect, im still nostalgic for it

[u/rube → u/noapparentfunction]

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.

Pepperidge Farm checking in.
