[AC Question]

How can I stop the error message "Unfortunately Hangouts has stopped working" from popping up?

I uninstalled the Google Hangouts app from my phone.Now every couple of hours this error message pops up. "Unfortunately Hangouts has stopped working". Its pretty annoying. Is there a way to stop it? Samsung Galaxy Core Prime running Android 5.1.1.

Welcome to Android Central! Was Hangouts preinstalled on the phone when you got it? If so, you probably didn't completely uninstall it--you probably just uninstalled all updates, since preinstalled apps can't be removed (unless you root the phone).
