The mobile Google Chat still doesn't let you switch accounts, like Hangouts supports. Perplexing, given how much people in the Google-sphere context switch.

- bonzini 6y agoIsn't the mobile GChat integrated in the Gmail app?
- colinmhayes 6y agoChat is now built into the gmail app which is much easier to switch on.
- ptx 6y agoMakes it more difficult to switch between Gmail and Meet though (to look something up while in a meeting) since they are now conjoined into the same app. I can understand Facebook or WeChat building everything into the same app, making the app into an inner platform within the platform, but when Google already control the outer platform it doesn't make much sense.
- Androider 6y agoSo, just like Google Talk / GChat was in GMail back in 2005? We've finally come full circle.
- jasonv 6y agoI see Meet, but not Chat, and none of my Chats show up in the Gmail app (iOS), and there's a separate Chat app (which doesn't do the account switching I mentioned). If Chat is built in, I don't see it yet.
- colinmhayes 6y agoMy app has mail, chat, rooms, and meet tabs at the bottom.
- jasonv 6y agoI have Mail and Meet.
- jorams 6y agoFor me there's a profile picture in the top right that opens an account dialog, from where a single tap switches to any other account. Do you mean something beyond that?
