Google Hangouts gets some slick updates

December 10, 2014 by Paul Spoerry Leave a Comment

 

Adds intelligent location sharing, video call filters, stickers, and more…

Today, Google added the ability to quickly share your location to Hangouts. When someone asks "Where are you?" you will now be prompted to share your location. Which is better than keeping location sharing on all the time.

The update also brings several new features, including a "last seen" timestamp to let you know when a user was last active. There are also some cosmetic changes, including sticker packs and filters for video calls . The updated app is rolling out to Android and iOS today, while the "last seen" timestamp will be rolling out in a server-side update over the next few weeks.

Hangouts from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.talk

Hangouts from iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hangouts/id643496868?mt=8
