Google Talk Messenger is living its last days

Google announced that closes the Google Talk. The solution is logical, because the company has recently appeared four new messenger.

The app launched in 2005, but even in 2013 it tried to replace with Hangouts. The transition was voluntary, so many users are still being rewritten in Google Talk.

With the advent of Allo, Duo, Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet Google will stop supporting the old application, and now the transition will be mandatory.

In the coming weeks, all the Google Talk users will receive a Gmail invitation to move in Hangouts, and who does not do it himself, that June 26 will automatically be transferred.

Google Talk Android-application also will stop working soon, and users are advised to install Hangouts.

Hangouts itself is going through a big change. Google wants to make it a business-oriented service and for this section to Meet for video conferencing and Chat - Corporate instant messenger like Slack. At the same time more Hangouts service will exist in its usual form.

While messaging between regular users and created Allo Duo, at Allo still no web version. So what options there are, as it were, but as it is not - you are welcome through Hangouts.

Confusion adds the fact that in the classical Hangouts will remove the SMS messaging feature. Those who use it as your main SMS client, offer to go to another messenger Google - Android Messages.

The company's strategy is clear: Allo and Duo - for all users, Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet - for business customers, Android Messages - for mobile communications. But this migration between messengers poor. And, since I went to these things, who knows not whether Google will launch another application for instant messaging?
