It’s hard to say exactly what is getting deleted, but it’s easy to download.

        Remember Allo ? What a disaster that was. Duo was actually not that bad but they already had Hangouts which did both

          Why they just didn’t update Hangouts with new features instead of launching two new apps is a mystery to me. Great way to lose all reputation that was left.

            It’s sad how in an era where name recognition means everything, they removed Hangouts when it was a widely known, positive brand. Made me really question their product/marketing team lol

            It’s because Google’s corporate culture rewards new products over maintaining old ones. They’ll happily dump a product even with tens of millions of users to push a new one. Funnily enough the main Google products I see consistent mainstream usage of is all the old ones.
