Google Chat 4+

Great, but one problem…

Now, this is amazing. I’ve got an iPhone 11, and I’ve got a few friends who only have chat as a way to talk.

I’m able to contact my team quickly and efficiently, and the layout’s extremely simple and easy to use!

It’s great for texting and talking to any groups/people, and it’s just awesome. I would definitely recommend getting it, especially if you’ve got a business, like me, and you need to contact the whole team at once.

Now, there is a problem, and I’ve seen many people complain about it. Unlike on the desktop app, you can’t call from chat. Now, it’s not a huge problem for me, since I’ve got Google meet and I can just call everyone, but for the people that don’t, it’s a big problem. Perhaps consider adding a video call feature.

But asides from that, this would’ve been 5-stars, and I definitely recommend this. Absolutely top-notch. 🫡

Very heavy on battery

This app has some serious drain on battery on apple devices. On my iPhone 14 I can listen to music, play games, even stream on 20% battery which lasts me around 5hrs. Today I loaded google chat up on 23% battery, typed and sent ONE message and my battery went from 23% to 2%!! The same thing happens on my iPad and my iPhone 11. I don’t know what it is but something about this app is way off when it’s draining that much battery power in such a short period of time. If this was fixed it would actually be worth 5 stars.

Note:: To the developer, thanks for your reply. It’s nice to see a developer who actually pays attention. Very much appreciate your reply thank you. I’ve increased to 4 stars instead of 3. Stay safe.

Developer Response ,

Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We're sorry to hear that. We'll pass this along to the team so they can review and make the Chat app even better. Thank you!

I can talk to my friend

I’ve been using Google chats for around three months now and I tell you it’s really good. I was using teams but I switch over to Google chat because uses my personal email not my school email. it is why I’m only chatting one person right now. I can easily add more people to it.

I guess one thing I want to be out of this like a timestamp so do you want if something important Happened a couple of months ago and you want to talk about it? You can select select something a couple months ago.
