Gmail, how to chat ?

[alnexus]

Can't figure it out, .... how do I text chat someone in gmail ?

Are you talking about Google Talk within the Gmail web interface?

Or texting using a Google Voice number?

Use Google Talk to chat on your Nexus 7 just as you would in the Gmail web interface on a desktop.

Yes, that's what I'm trying to do....simple to use on desktop, some reason just can't see, or click anything to start the basic gmail chat ?

Google talk chat has its own app - it's icon is a speech bubble with "talk" in it.

You need to use the talk app. Go to the settings and you will find it buried in there.

I think it has to be done through google+
click google+ on home screen, then gives you option apps to click......talk.....then your in gmail chat.

Talk? Or Messenger. Messenger in Google+ is not Google Talk, at least not yet.

Talk is my primary texting platform. I have the icon in the tray for immediate access

They need to put those two together with GVoice to make one app.

Agreed. Google needs to focus.

This thread is a perfect example of why Google needs to unify all of these apps into on, and make all the messages cross populate accordingly.

true but google is already on it. Google Planning To Unify All It?s Communication Services | The Droid Guy

might take a few more months maybe. They already got rid of gtalk in gmail web and replaced it with hangout.
