Suggestion of the day: They should integrate Google Voice + Android Messages / RCS to make a true iMessage competitor (with encryption / web sync / etc) AND THEN replace all references of _consumer_ Hangouts/Messaging with this new service. Here's where they could integrate it: -Gmail (as either the hangouts widget replacement or a new Gmail Addon) -Google Maps (so that any conversations you have show up in your main messages app too) -YouTube (why did they even make YouTube Messages? Put this in there so those messages show up in this unified app) -Google Sheets/Docs/Slides (so all comments / conversations can then be seen & referenced in this unified app) -Google Assistant Conversations (so you can see what you've written, but also have the conversation handy - similar, but more streamlined, to how it was/is in Allo) -Duo (so it's tightly integrated & conversations just magically work - similar to FaceTime/iMessage) -Google One (so all customer support conversations can also be bundled & seen in one unified view) -Hangouts Chat / Hangouts Meet (so if you use those services, they have a channel in this app too) -Anywhere else you use a Google service to type things! This would be the ULTIMATE messaging app. Here, I'll even throw in ways to monetize (so that it can live on forever): -You have your main chats, but also all these premium "channels"/"add-ons" (like the ones above) that outside business could integrate into within this app. Charge them similar to how WhatsApp is doing it -Create an add-on store for stickers/fonts/themes (similar to FB Messenger) but integrate into Play store for more revenue) -Sell this service to GSuite customers as a call center / messaging-based customer support service -Create an SMS api for developers and charge for its use (like Twilio and company) No ads. No subscription service (though I'd happily pay $1 per year - which at their scale could be billions). No hassle. No fragmentation. No problems. World hunger solved /end rant P.S. - If anyone wants to make this service, I'd happily co-found a company to do exactly this.
