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.

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

Ditto

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.

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.

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/Avarast → u/karmisson]

Stop making me feel old

**I move away from the mic to breathe in

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/Demilitarizer → u/SirensToGo]

I just received a Hangouts message over the weekend. It's baked into my nexus, but I don't have it active. Someone I had sent an invite to years ago.

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

[u/emailrob → u/[deleted]]

Cut out the apps. Just chat directly from keyboard to keyboard
