Hangouts 4.0 is here!

Features:
Hangouts is sleeker. Now updated with material design, Hangouts has a new look and feel: items respond to your touch in more intuitive ways and transitions between tasks are more fluid.
Hangouts is simpler. The new Compose button makes it easier for you to start a new group or conversation. Our streamlined contacts list helps you find the right person quickly. And attachments have been revamped and simplified, so sharing—of emoji, GIFs, your location, even multiple photos at once—is a snap.
Hangouts is faster. Whether you’re sending a quick message or video chatting with family, you don’t want hold-ups. We’ve been obsessively fixing bugs and speeding up message delivery to make Hangouts faster and more reliable. Bonus: less battery consumption.

Is anyone else ticked that they removed the green message letting you quickly differentiate between a hangouts message and an sms? Conversations just look so bland now without that green.. seriously. Besides that, nice update.

I was hoping to see some kind of update to bring it closer to messenger. Like the ability to change colors for contacts and quick reply. Also the only way to differentiate is to see in tiny words: now via sms. It's also quite the lag fest in my Nexus 6 running Chroma. Quite interesting. I would still consider it an upgrade, but a small one at best.

The messages definitely need some color.. I know the tiny words are there, but having color to differentiate and also adding life to the conversation is much quicker and appealing. If you clear app data and cache that should help the performance for you, that's what everyone is recommending in the AP comments.

Gifs not work anymore

The app is so much more laggy than the Google Messenger app. Takes longer to load as well. I don't like how the attachment selection is always shown. Should just be the paper clip to attach.

Gifs work but they don't auto play. You need to click on the gif after its posted. The attachments suck imo now. I restored back to previous version.

I find it pretty confusing. I can't tell if I'm sending an SMS or a hangout message -__-.

yeah, I definitely expected more for this version-the app doesn't feel snappier and from what I have read the IOS version is better...I don't get that - I understand there are a lot of Iphone/Ipad users out there but Google-Android is your baby-why not take care of it first and deliver a finished polished app-we receive the update months after IOS and it's still worse....I am disappointed....sorry for the rant
