Google Hangouts Goes "Flat" For Apple iOS 7

The search-giant makes Hangout compatible with Apple's new flat design language.

 

Google Hangouts for iOS was not really optimized for the platform when they launched the app back in 2013. The app was a big relief for iOS users looking for an official Google Talk client. However, it was rather poorly optimised and failed miserably due to its inconsistent UI.

Finally, Google has now sorted out all the UI bugs and delivered a refreshed 2.0 version of the app. Although the focus was more on the tablet side of things, the new UI looks flatter and is in sync with iOS 7’s new design guidelines, making it more user friendly.

List of new features:

  • Optimized for the iPad including picture-in-picture video calling.
  • Animated stickers that help you share exactly how you’re feeling.
  • Record and send video messages up to 10 seconds long.
  • Send a map of your current location.

We are sure most iOS users who use Hangouts as their platform of choice for its flexibility (desktop, mobile and tablet) will certainly rush to update their app.
