- Four clicks to quit Hangouts.
- No ability to delete more than one conversation at once.
- Hangouts receives SMS even without permission.
These are all the mistakes Google consciously built into the app. I'm amazed it has as high of a rating as it does already. Then again, one needs a Google+ account to rate anything on the Play Store, so the ratings are far from unbiased and certainly not representative.
- kyrra 13y agoThe android upgrade that allowed hangouts to handle SMS asked you if you wanted it to handle your SMS. I said no and it never took it over for me.

- zackboe 13y agoOn Android, you can long press a conversation to enable multiple select and then bulk archive or delete. Don't know of a way to do this on desktop.
- pgrote 13y agoI just tried it on my Galaxy S4. It doesn't work if you mix SMS and a hangout. You have to do each individually. Edit: By individually I mean grouped. SMS bulk deleting works, as does hangouts, but you cannot mix them.
