Now in version 4.0 for Android, you should be able to chat with improved speed and simpler menus.
Full list of what's new:
•Hangouts is sleeker. Now updated with material design, Hangouts has a new look and feel: items respond to your touch in more intuitive ways and transitions between tasks are more fluid.
•Hangouts is simpler. The new Compose button makes it easier for you to start a new group or conversation. Our streamlined contacts list helps you find the right person quickly. And attachments have been revamped and simplified, so sharing--of emoji, GIFs, your location, even multiple photos at once--is a snap.
•Hangouts is faster. Whether you're sending a quick message or video chatting with family, you don't want hold-ups. We've been obsessively fixing bugs and speeding up message delivery to make Hangouts faster and more reliable. Bonus: less battery consumption.
Additionally, you can now make calls from the Hangouts Dialer with Outbound Caller ID and you can use Hangouts for Android Wear, two oft-requested features.
