So will we be able to send and receive texts via tablet?Posted via Android Central App #2 I love that idea...Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk #3 LoL uhm no. There is no phone number associated with tablet so how would you get/send texts. The new apk is floating around, Google it. Its pretty nice. Can set mood too.Here Hangouts #4 I imagine it will be exactly like I Message. U can only send a text from your cell, and a Google hangouts from any device. Sent from my LG-D801 using AC Forums mobile app #5 So does that mean we can only send SMS to people on Google+ that have their mobile number integrated? #6 So is there any way to SMS text from a tablet?I'm getting my first tablet here very soon.Posted via Android Central App #7 So does that mean we can only send SMS to people on Google+ that have their mobile number integrated? No. When sending SMS, Hangouts acts like a regular SMS app (like the stock SMS, Handcent, Go SMS, etc.). The receiver doesn't need to have a G+ account or Hangouts.Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk #8 So is there any way to SMS text from a tablet?I'm getting my first tablet here very soon.Posted via Android Central App No. SMS is tied to cell phones. You'd have to use Hangouts as an IM client or another IM app like Kik to message. They wouldn't be SMS messages.Actually, there is an indirect way of doing The stock SMS app is dead on Android. Long live SMS in Google Hangouts (free)! This chat app was born when Google Hangouts consumed Google Talk, and now it's gobbled up SMS and Google Voice as well. Hangouts has the potential to be the best messaging app on any platform, but it turns out merging four distinct messaging systems together can be a little, well, messy. It will take some effort on your part to make this powerful messenger work for you.Getting Started The new features of Hangouts require at least Android 4.0 and an update to the Hangouts app. If you want to get access to Google Voice, you also have to download the Hangouts Dialer. Irritatingly, this second app doesn't do anything on its own and just takes up space in your apps screen. Also, Hangouts never presented me with the option to sign up for Google Voice, only to incorporate it from an existing account. Signing up a new account appears to be handled separately.Friends, Messages, and Calls Once you agree to use Hangouts for SMS and Google Voice calls and messages, the app presents three bright-green columns, one each for your friends, your text-based messages, and a dialer pad to make calls. Any calls you place through the dialer, either to contacts or numbers you dial, are placed using your Google Voice number. Google Voice calls to any number within the U.S. are free, and international calls cost just pennies per minute.If you don't have Google Voice, no problem; Google Hangouts supports voice calls all on its own with the same restrictions as Google Voice. The only difference between a voice call through Hangouts or Google Voice is that Hangouts voice calls appear to come from "No Caller ID" on most phones. During my testing, one voice call through Hangouts (not handled by Google Voice) was received as several separate calls—one call for each ring of the phone. Odd.The people you contact the most appear at the top of the list in Hangouts, and the rest follow below. A search box makes finding someone a bit easier. If one of your contacts is currently active on a Google Service that shows Hangouts—such as Gmail or Google+—you see a green chat bubble next to his or her name. This layout feels much more familiar than the older version's SMS-like approach. It reminds me a lot of old-style instant messaging.Your messages appear in the center column—all your messages. Whether it's text sent through Hangouts, IMs from users on other chat services, SMS messages to your phone, or text messages sent to your Google Voice number, it appears here. If your contacts list is in good order, your messages are merged into threads by user. So, my stepmother can text me from her phone, then continue chatting over the chat function in Gmail, and I'll see it all in a single thread. Unfortunately, you can no longer swipe to archive message these threads, however.When it comes to answering my

How To Use Google Voice Hangouts Unlimited SMS and

I would suggest you set it up this way. Once you check that box, all your SMS messages will go through Google Hangouts rather than thru Google Voice. If you have chat disabled, you need to go to Settings – Chat and turn the chat back on. Once you have it setup with a number, go to Gmail and click on your name in the chat window that on the left hand side. Make sure you sign up using the same email address you use for your Gmail account. To set it up, you first have to make sure you have a Google Voice account. Google Voice will let you send text messages directly from the Google Voice service once you sign up for a number, but you can also integrate Google Voice into Google Hangouts so that you can send SMS messages where you use Google Hangouts, i.e. The other service I use for sending SMS messages from my computer is Google Voice and Google Hangouts.

Google Hangouts Updated To v2.1 With Merged SMS/Hangout

Image: Andy Wolber/TechRepublicHangouts, once Google’s do-everything communication app, has gotten increasingly focused over time as the company has transitioned key features to other apps. For people in organizations–meaning anyone who used Hangouts with a Google Workspace account–the company intends to entirely replace Hangouts with other apps by the end of 2021. If you still use Hangouts (Figure A), you’ll need to take action to retain access to key features as they’re gradually moved out of the app. Take the following steps to maintain access to similar sets of features, albeit now distributed across several apps.SEE: Google Sheets: Tips and tricks (TechRepublic download) Switch from Google Hangouts to Google Meet for video conferencing Google Meet, which is available for Android, iOS and the web, gives you a highly capable video conferencing tool.

Install the Google Recently, Google released an update to the Google+ Hangouts application that brings a few bug fixes and enhancements, updating it to version 2.0.2. The latest update brought a few fixes that appeared to be costly for a bunch of Hangouts users. The latest Google Hangouts v2.0.2 gives users the ability to turn of group MMS from the Settings when sending a SMS to multiple people. Additionally, the update brought fixes while sending and receiving MMS on the device.Not too long ago, Google introduced SMS/MMS integration within the Hangouts application, replacing the default SMS application with it in the latest Android 4.4 KitKat and Google Nexus 5. This could be a disturbing change for a bunch of users who were used to the SMS application. Previously, it seems that whenever a user sent an SMS to multiple people, it would turn it into an MMS, which is obviously costly compared to the normal SMS. It became worse as there’s no way users could disable it until the most recent update. But, thankfully, Google has fixed the issue and users can now disable MMS from the Settings.Change log Hangouts v2.0.2Fixes for MMS sending/receivingYou can turn off group messaging (MMS) in Settings to send SMS to multiple peopleYou can download the updated .Source: Android Police Filed Under: Android NewsLatest Geeky Gadgets DealsDisclosure: Some of our articles include affiliate links.

Google Hangout Update: Merges SMS With Hangout Conversations

Sent from my LG-D801 using AC Forums mobile app #17 I don't think this feature has bee releases yet. If anybody has used iMessage, your phone number is used as one of the addresses you can send your iMessage too. Even if sent to you phone number, it is also sent to your Mac OS computer(s), iPhone, and iPad. If the message is sent as a SMS text I will only go to your phone. I hope hangouts works this way. Sent from my LG-D801 using AC Forums mobile app I posted it in post #3. I say "Here Hangouts"If you click the word Hangouts, it takes you to download the .apk. I've been using it since yesterday!Edit: Here again here's a link to a bunch of other kitkat stuff you can downmload #18 We can't continue the messages from our phone on our tablet? I thought that the new app would integrate our phone number with our hangouts account. #19 We can't continue the messages from our phone on our tablet? I thought that the new app would integrate our phone number with our hangouts account. On the device that has the phone number, it will. Other types of messaging will sync, but since SMS is sent through the cell service, not the data connection, there is no way for a non-cell device to send SMS messages.I'm looking forward to SMS dying out, because with all this integration, eventually no one will really be able to tell the different between SMS and other messaging, and there won't be any need for SMS. I got by without SMS for a long time, because I could send texts via email using Google Voice. But enough people were sending texts to me that I was getting hit with charges & ended up

Google Hangouts / Voice integration? Synchronized SMS with Hangouts

Can Google Read your text messages? Thread starter Thread starter neonworm Start date Start date Nov 3, 2013 You are using an out of date browser.

I want to know if other people also have concerns about Google Hangouts SMS privacy. #2 I wouldn't be any more concerned than when using the Google provided messaging app. At this point hangouts SMS functionality is simply as a messaging app replacement. There is no provision for message syncing or anything like that.Posted via Android Central App May 23, 2010 13,431 210 0 #3 Technically speaking, I'm sure any carrier/service provider can read messages sent to and from the device, if they really wanted to. I don't think it's an issue to worry about. #4 They can scan for keywords and deliver more relevant ads, but no person is reading your messages.Sent from my Nexus 4 using AC Forums mobile app #5 Apple could, Google could, all the carriers could. I trust Google more then the carriers in the US.Posted via Android Central App #6 Google has had access to my SMS for years since I've been a Google voice user. I'm fine with it from a privacy point of view. I'm a gmail user too with many accounts attached it. They've never hidden the fact that they use keywords to give me targeted based advertising. Apart from that I don't believe they use the data for anything other than that. If one uses any Google services you need to understand that and agree with it.Posted via Android Central App _X_ Well-known member #7 The answer is yes, and the answer to the question you didn't ask is yes the carriers and the NSA can also read your emails.
