And what do you think they should do?
Can you really not think of anything better? Let's put it like this, if you had billions of dollars to create something new, what would you want to create?
I am looking forward to when they release the version where they are generated on the spot with their new GPU improvements.
Just noticed. They all wear Android smartwatches... I don't know single person in Europe who uses his Android smartwatch after couple of months!

This is so DOA, bots can do most if this already in existing messaging app. Not putting this in hangout is a death blow. I'm not installing another chat app.

This is just sad. Yet another messaging app. This time with ads built right into your private conversations. And the crowd cheers :(
It looks like it's just another mobile only platform too. Am I the only one who'd like to use my computer to send messages while I'm using it?

Definitely not. I recommend Signal as they have a desktop client as well and is open source. Also handles SMS on mobile. ( https://whispersystems.org/ )
- Bound to a phone number.
- Limited to a single mobile device (can't use a tablet or a second phone).
- Limited to a Chrome extension.
The first two are the larger of my problems as phone numbers are far from permanent and I routinely use multiple Android devices.
I just don't understand how there are so many messaging applications that involve encryption and manage to mess up at least one major feature.
Telegram: e2e is off by default, encryption is homegrown, requires a phone number (although only for initial setup).
Signal: No multi-device, requires a phone number.
WhatsApp: Linked entirely to a phone.
Tox: Uses P2P nonsense that destroys mobile battery.
Why is it so hard to make an app that is:
- Secure.
- Not linked to a phone in any way.
- Mobile ready, with working push notifications.
- Available on multiple devices.
- Easy to use.
- Free.
It's been like that for a few hours now.

Your phone could be turned to "always listening" for that matter, and it's typically with you 24/7.
You know what I would want my phone to be doing? To be actually always listening. So that I could just say "Ok Google" at random and interact with Google Now without having to unlock the phone or have it constantly hooked up to a charger. That very simple thing would probably quadruple the usefulness of the whole thing. But Google probably has some "smart" reason for never ever allowing that. sigh (I mean, what the h…

Sounds like you're lucky enough to have a carrier where MMS still works in Hangouts, or you never get MMS messages.
