Click to expand... Nope, not at all. Install another keyboard of your choice and enable it from Hangouts. Via Hangouts, settings - sms - default. Hope this helps.

You mean slower sending of messages or performance within the app? I have not noticed anything different performance wise and message seem to send immediately. Sent from my Moto X
