Hangouts 7.0 is rolling out with Quick replies and Design tweaks
Hangouts has received the
7.0 update with some exciting new features like Quick replies and
conversation shortcuts. This update allow users to reply directly from
the Notifications and the ability to add home screen shortcuts that lead
directly to conversations.
Note:
The update is rolling out on slow pace to the users. So, stay calm and
you will receive the update in couple of days. Now Google has also begun
pointing people towards using an SMS app outside of Hangouts as well.
Earlier Google has updated its Google now Cards and Inbox by Gmail app.
Coming to the update, the quick reply
feature works as you’d expect —a message and then you tap the reply
button on the notification, and you get a little floating reply bubble.
This is something people have waited for Google to add for a long time.
However, you’ll only see the quick reply option when one message is
there and When more than one message stacks up, that button goes away.
In this update there is a number of
visual tweaks to the overall design of Hangouts, with more Material
Design creeping in to replace the older Holo style in settings, check
boxes are now sliders etc. But overall, it’s mostly the Quick Reply
feature that’s the big news in this release.
