Hangouts app starts updating to version 1.2

New version of the Hangouts app

Application Hangouts It has been very well received by users and, as a substitute for Talk, it has finally become a success for Google. Well, this development is beginning to receive a new update that brings it to version 1.2.

The deployment is being carried out gradually, and yesterday it has already started to be part of the US. Exact dates are not known, but the truth in -at most- a few days is expected to be available globally and, therefore, that it can be downloaded in our country (if this process is configured automatically, the user will not have to do anything to get the new version).

Apart from the usual bug fixes, among which the problems with sending and receiving with some messages with a lot of text stand out, there are some improvements in Hangouts that are quite interesting since they offer more options for use. An example is that in the photographs it is possible to make the so-called "pinch" (Pinch-to-zoom) to enlarge or reduce what is seen on the screen.

Other news that are included in the version 1.2 Hangouts are as follows:

  • Now it is possible to identify by colors who are in a Hangouts (green if it is included and gray if not)
  • New organization of contacts, which is now much more intuitive
  • Continuously pressing a contact on the Hangouts screen again hides it
  • Conversation invitations are easier to find in menus

It is possible to use it on devices with an operating system Android 2.3 or higher and, depending on the version of this, the size of the download is larger or smaller. This development is undoubtedly one of the best for instant conversations because it is cross-platform.
