Google announces Hangouts update, adds the much-desired status availability - IBNLive





New Delhi: Google has announced an update to Hangouts, its instant messaging app for Android devices. This update brings the much-desired status availability feature on the Google Hangouts app. Users have been missing this feature on the Hangouts app since Google replaced the Google Talk app on Android devices with the Google Hangouts app a couple of months back.


Now it is easy to distinguish between online and offline users on Hangouts . "Green icons mean they are, and grey icons mean they aren't," said Randall Sarafa, spokesman, Google, in a blog post on Google+. Google has started rolling out the update and the new version is expected to be available to users over the next few days.


There are other new features that will be available to users with the new version. From top to bottom users will get to see 'People you Hangout with', 'Suggested People', and 'Other Contacts'. Hangout invites are now located above conversations. The new verison will now allow users to hide people from the New Hangout screen by pressing their name for a few seconds and touching 'Hide contact.'
