Feature Request

Would like to access multiple user accounts at once without logging out. I have 3 google suites accounts for 3 different businesses. I can’t use this as a replacement for hangouts if I can only be logged into one account.
Needs improvements

At least on iOS, Google Chat does not use chat bubbles. As a result, readability is worse than every other chat app I’ve used in recent history. Google also needs to add the ability to respond to a specific message in the chat.

I really like google chat! I can communicate fast with my friends, and there are built-in video calls.
So you’re shutting Hangouts down in favor of a lacking program?

When I heard Hangouts would go away and this was its replacement, I hadn’t expected it at all. This appears to be a more business-oriented site and not an alternative/“better” communication method for just talking. What if we need to use it for regular chatting? Why would I, a person trying to communicate with their friends, switch from a perfectly good casual chat app that was working better than my standard IOS messaging app, to a business talk app made for companies? Why did you shut it down in the first place? Its comparability to Slack made it sound worse than it was. (And it is definitely not great.) Slack is not very user-friendly and it lacks basic functionalities that Discord comes with easily. This app, while not confusing whatsoever, is still lacking in many of the regular chat features that come expected with it being a CHATTING APP. Editing messages does not work on the computer. It only uses your device’s theme on mobile, making it annoying to switch from my dark-themed web tabs to the beam of light that is my Google Chat tab. It lacks a proper “reply” feature that would allow easier group communications when multiple people are chatting at once. I can’t have multiple chat threads open at once like I did with Hangouts. I have to click back and forth every time. When switching from another app to Chat on mobile, the chat scrolls itself upwards and messes up the thread. I can’t use asterisks anymore because the words get bolded. I can’t send many photos at once anymore. I have to get them all manually sent over one at a time, which takes a long time. It’s all just inconvenient, messy, and unfinished. Though I will say, this sound is much better than the intrusive, loud, Hangouts sound. Additionally, the fact that it has dark theme on mobile is a nice change, and it functions. It carried things over, and it functions. Like Slack.
