One of the most popular Google services will be shut down forever. We are talking about Google Hangouts. If you have also used this service, then this news is for you. In fact, Google introduced Google Chat in 2020 and since then the company has been gradually encouraging its users to switch from Google Hangouts to Google Chat. Google Chat offers better communication and collaboration, the company says. Then earlier this year, the company officially announced that it would be shutting down Google Hangouts later this year. After a while, the Android and iOS versions of Hangouts stopped working. The company has also disabled the Google Hangout browser extension on Google Chrome. Currently, you can only access Hangouts using its official website. However, this facility will also be closed in November. Earlier, Google Hangout advised users to download chat history through Google Takeout.
The company wrote on a support page that users will be able to use Hangouts on the web by November 1, 2022. Then, users will be redirected to chat on the web. In fact, this method is used to transfer users from Hangouts to Chat. In addition, Google said Hangouts users have until January 1, 2023 to download all their data via Google Takeout, after which they will lose all their conversations.
"Hangouts on the web will be available until November 1, 2022. After that, users will be redirected to chat on the web. Users can use Google Takeout to download their data until January 1, 2023. " the company wrote in support. You can continue using the page."
So, if you want to download all your Google Hangouts data before stopping the service, you need to follow the steps mentioned below.
