Comments on Google Chat for Android

★★★★★ Ish HL0369 · Sep 22, 2026

Great! For Individuals trying to navigate employer's 'WhatsApp IT restrictions', great alternative to Mobile to PC file, doc transfer/sharing.

★★★★☆ Muhammad Taha · Sep 22, 2026

I believe the notification can be improved as the majority of the times when there's a chat there's no notification for it.

★★★★★ Zuhair Saleem · Sep 2, 2026

Allow multiple file uploads from files, i.e. when you try attaching multiple files from app it works but if you select 5-6 files and tap on share - it doesn't show google chat option in apps

★★★★☆ David Koeller · Sep 22, 2026

Not a suitable replacement for Hangouts. Unable to send multiple photos, doesn't open the gallery like a normal app, layout of messages is poor with no differentiation between people in the conversation, no read history/activity. Do not force this app on Hangouts users until it actually can compare.

★★★★★ Joseph Believe · Sep 11, 2026

I want my Google chats to be working normally why people don't use to see my messages if I send them messages why please I want u guys should help me out it coz I really need it to text my friend over there right now

★☆☆☆☆ Carl Gustas · Sep 17, 2026

Decommissioned hangouts and now forced to this with no sms support. This is like the 10th frigging chat app Google put out that creates divide between networked chat and sms. It shouldn't be this hard. Contextual highlighting is happening on wrong works and not highlighting the last letter. Ugh.

★★☆☆☆ Lovely Son · Sep 2, 2026

Update: It getting worse. When I upload my pictures and videos, I get stuck in a previous upload when the download is finished. I can download pictures and videos but its getting worse. Please fix it. Its annoying and check for bugs... please. 🥲🥲💔💔💔

★☆☆☆☆ Mark Kuszelewski · Sep 16, 2026

There are scammers do not talk to the people that asks you for gift cards. I work hard for my money every month to live to survive each month. Greed is a deadly sin. Avoid the greedy people. Save your mo ey in you pocket. Google Chat is the worst app I have ever used. Please change a different app high security and secure account away from Hangouts and away Google chat forever change the app with Google. Millions of dollars from greedy people are using this platform to steal. Thanks. Bye
