I don't know what the issue is with everyone and Hangouts.....
Seriously, its not "complete" but its a great start. People come in here blabbing out complaints without scrolling up, and reading previous posts where explanations were posted.
When you text someone do u know if they are there???! No. You just wait for an answer! Well this is the same idea of Hangouts. You will only see the person's square lid or grayed out to identify when they are within the app, looking, reading and/or typing, or NOT.
Relax people. I am one to agree it should have been released with SMS integration so it would all make more sense, but that's just around the corner. In the meantime I'm LOVING it. Its fast, smooth, great emojis, you see the animation while waiting when the other person is typing, and video call quality is phenomenal from my experience.
Relax :thumbup:
