Comments on Google Chat for Android

★★★★☆ Zoey Kinnard · Jun 8, 2026

I love this app! It's so easy to stay in touch with my friends. My only downside is that I had a group chat with all of them, and all of a sudden it disappeared! We're not sure where it went.

★★★★☆ Jeevan Lal · Jun 12, 2026

Data transfer is easy. Laptop to phone. Vis a vis :)

★★★★☆ Mehdi Deylami · Jun 12, 2026

I am a daily user of Google Chat, and I really appreciate the rich text formatting options. However, I have a feature request regarding text styling (specifically font color). Currently, whenever I change the text color for a message, the setting resets back to default as soon as the message is sent. For the next message, I have to manually select the color all over again. This makes continuous, style conversation very tedious. It would be amazing if you could add a "sticky formatting" feature

★★☆☆☆ Jared Landry · May 31, 2026

They changed the icon to something too similar to messages. So I've turned off notifications because that's a trash change

★★☆☆☆ Emma · Jun 8, 2026

Google chat's connection wasn't great and my texts didn't go through time after time. The person who I was chatting with couldn't see my messages as well as her messages weren't getting through to me, overall the app worked great besides that

★★☆☆☆ Molly · Jun 5, 2026

I used to love this app and had all my family chats in here. But the forced introduction of the Threads feature makes it unusable unless history is off. Cannot overstate how bad it is. Now my chats have each got 50 additional threads that clutter the list unnecessarily and make it impossible to find different groups. Awful, hideous decision. Been using GChat for over a decade but gradually switching away.

★☆☆☆☆ Julie A Hetrick · Jun 11, 2026

can't even get on to chat I put someone in and it can't find them. So the purpose sucks.
