It&#8217;s multi-platform integrated, meaning you can use it on your computer, your Android, or your iOS device&#8212; everything will remain perfectly synced. Conversation threads will remain on the Hangouts application until you delete them, so you can always look back and see a timeline of old photos and videos you shared with others through the app.<\/p>\n<p>One pretty big disappointment is the lack of SMS support in the application. However, some have said otherwise. Google knows that apps like &#8220;Hangouts&#8221; are the future of smartphone communication, so they may just be paving the way for the abandonment of SMS-use. We&#8217;ll just have to wait and see how users react to this new technology!
