  If you're on iOS, you should use Google Hangouts to communicate with people across iOS, Android, and Chrome. But it doesn't integrate with the portable Google Voice number, so you'll also want that app. And now YouTube has been relaunched with native messaging capabilities, so you'll want to install that too to talk with YouTube users. But that won't let you communicate with all the people on Google+, so you'll need to install that too. But of course, you won't get all the latest features for all these messaging apps unless you get the new Allo and Duo, so you should really have all 6. If you're on Android, you can add a 7th with the native SMS app. Actually, I forgot that you'll also want to talk in small groups about special interests, so you'll need Google Spaces. You really only need 8 apps to message people with Google.
