Find people and rooms more easily on the Hangouts Chat mobile app

Quick launch summary

Google has made some changes to the colors and layout of the Hangouts Chat apps on Android and iOS devices. These changes will make it easier to keep track of your chats and stay organized. One of the biggest changes you’ll notice is that the single list of “People,” “Rooms,” and “Bots” is now two tabs: “People” and “Rooms.” Bots will now be included in the “People” tab, making it easier to find a single contact.

Additionally, we’ve removed the filter at the top of these tabs to simplify how you navigate the app. To find people, bots, and rooms, search using the magnifying glass at the top of the screen or start a conversation by clicking the “+” button in the bottom right corner.
