If you use Google Hangouts, you may want to begin looking into an alternative messaging service.
Google will shut down Hangouts for consumers in 2020, says a source speaking to 9to5Google. There’s no word on a more specific timeframe yet, so it’s unclear how long into 2020 that Hangouts will survive.
Hangouts launched in mid-2013 as Google’s latest messaging service. As we all know, though, Google ended up releasing a few more messaging services in the following years, like Allo and Android Messages. Now Google appears to be pushing Android Messages as its consumer-focused messaging product, offering features like RCS and a web version, while Hangouts is the business-centric messaging offering. As such, it’s no surprise to hear that Hangouts for consumers will soon be killed off.
