Is google+ going to replace google talk?

**mightymikek83** · 03-01-2012, 05:35 PM

There hasn't been an update to GTALK in awhile and it seems like it's lagging behind BBM or Imessage. I was curious about google+ messenger. If you do a videochat on GTALK, it brings up the HANGOUT feature on google+.

Is GTALK going to end up just being google+ messenger? I love GTALK, I just wish they would update the damn thing.

Google Talk for ICS has been updated to 4.0.4.

They just need to merge the two messaging services. Would make things much simpler and may even bring more people into G+

This. I didn't even see this topic yesterday as I was looking around, but I have been wanting this for a while. Might help encourage more people to dive deeper into G+ as well. gTalk has been missing group messaging functions since, well, since forever and you see how popular that feature is with G+. I see more people using their G+ for the SINGLE purpose of simple group chatting.

I really hope so...

I am an advocate of G+ but even I find the overlap between gtalk/g+ confusing. I love how you can jump back and forth between gtalk on your phone and desktop, but the redundant platforms makes it confusing. In order for G+ to take off I really think that they need to sort this out.

I think it's dumb to have two apps on my phone..no one uses google+ messaging (with my group of friends anyways). Some will use Google Talk but that's only if I message them on it first. I was really hoping Google + would take off but sometimes I feel like Google is sinking money into a sinking ship. That's just my opinion though. I hate how we have to get approved to message someone on G talk on both ends. Every time I send someone a request, they don't get a notification for it and they end up having to send me a request as I'm the only one who can get them show up. I guess that's just the nature of the beast though.

I didn't hear the news like this and the Google Talk app is bundled with the Android OS and AFAIK it has never been accessible as a separate download from the Android Market. The Google Voice app is a separate application for a different Google service.

They should merge gtalk and Google+ messenger together. As long your able to still use it without having to be logged in to google + itll be fine. In my opinion it is really the only reason I use g+ because the messenger has notifications like BBM.

Google+ is a Social Network Website. And Google Talk is a online chatting platform.

of course, you are helpful.

No, i don't think so that Google will replace Google Talk to Google +. Because Google Talk is locally use by many companies. So why they will replace.
