Google Is Getting Rid of The Old Hangouts In Favor Of The New One

After announcing their new AI-powered chat platforms Allo and Duo last September, Google seems to be getting rid of the old  Hangouts in favor of their new hotness.

Several other announcements seemed to confirm that strategy, including a Hangouts app specially tooled for enterprise the search giant introduced yesterday.


What that means for the consumer version in the long run is unclear, but head of product for Allo and Duo Amit Fulay assured that it's not going anywhere, at least for now.
