That'll leave those of us on Fi in a bind as far as one of the features I like best - unified texting across devices...

Yeah I know what you mean. I mean Hangouts has been on the chopping block for quite some time but it's never gone away completely. I hope it doesn't work, we shall find out soon enough though this summer.

I'm in a similar bind, since we've always used Hangouts in my family (including my parents). But now that we got my daughter an iPhone '() and Hangouts doesn't work on iPhones for an account under 13 mad, I guess we'll move over to Google Messages.

Yup, much of my chat with family is through Hangouts, though we have a family domain with mail hosted on G-Suite so I guess it'll still work for us in some manner.

Yeah dude, I'm not so sure what kind of happened. That sucks for yourself as well. Only time will tell as of June.

I mean Hangouts chat is great for g suite users but I have a regular personal Gmail account.

So do I, that's where my Fi account is parked so my SMS is linked to other devices through my GMail account.
