Do people really NOT read articles they are commenting on or are these articles simply too hard to understand for them? :|

Sounds good on paper, but Google will somehow find a way to screw this up, and annoy us.

Another chat/ messaging app from Google. How is this a news? Come six months, Google will have again developed another app for the same purpose and abandon this. Give it up Google!

.alpha, 21 Apr 2018Google should just make something that works with iMessageThat will never happen. Apple keeps most of their customers with them only because of iMessage, they have 0 desire in opening it up - they only want to 'communicate with Apple users/customers' which is a letdown, but it seems to profit Apple billions.
