I thought Google had their own thing, but I think I was getting confused between Messages by Google and Hangouts (or one of their other apps).
Can you do a hangouts chat within messages by google? (The whole Android messaging ecosystem is so confusing to me!)
- ianburrell 5y agoMessages on Android is just SMS and RCS. Hangouts is dead, replaced by Google Chat. On Google Fi, Messages can sync messages with web app. I wish there was a Messages for iOS for reading Google Fi messages on my iPad. But that would be a pretty niche use and they would have to call it something less confusing. Hangouts used to have the ability to do both Hangouts and SMS. But it didn't have the ability to automatically switch like iMessage. They could have also rolled out the ability to sync SMS to more carriers instead of just Sprint and Google Fi.
