   Too bad. Block when you feel like? Really ?

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Take information from Google Gemini, AI and plug it into another AI and see a huge bias difference. The fact I’ve had to have some things rewritten up for me using Gemini and then realizing it didn’t sound right at all compare compared to AI copilot and plugging Gemini information into AI copilot. You could see the absolute major discrepancies that it has to correct with Gemini.

   Chats pile up. I don’t understand why our Google Meet conversations get saved in my chat app and I can not delete them. I have a recurring team meeting on Google Meet and after every team meeting the chat takes up a new space in my Chat app. I can’t delete them or hide them so they just fill up my chat box and I can’t find the important chats. Zoom chats are way easier and are only in each specific meeting.

4. ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions

   No Privacy, Horrible UX. Is there any data that Google isn’t stealing with this app? The data privacy policy is ridiculous. And the UX is one of the worst, most unintuitive experiences I’ve ever seen for a chat application.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Doesn’t work. Constant ghost notifications and messages not coming through.

6. ★★★★★support does not respond or resolve the issue

   Not a happy camper. Here is a question for you meaning the developers of Google Chat here. How come you guys are letting scammers, hackers, bots, and Ransomers on to your platform I just had my 4th Ransomer threatening my life if I don’t pay them what are you going to do about that

7. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

   Chat. I think they should just go back to the original hangouts version because this chat is too slow

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   I HATE this new icon!!!!. I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! It looks stupid and cartoonish!😡 Change it back! It looks awful !!!

9. ★★★★★excessive or broken notifications

   Notification sound. Notification sound doesn’t change. Sure I have the option to change it, but the same annoying default noise still pierces the air. Edit: developer reached out saying I can customize the notifications within the app. Sure I can select a different sound within the app, but the actual notification sound doesn’t change.

    THE ICON IS HORRIBLE.. What the actual hell is this icon man?? The old one was COMPLETELY fine. It looks like yall just asked AI to make a new one. The smile for no reason? The weird graident? Why is it green??? Listen to your customers and change it back, NO ONE wanted this.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    I CANT CHAT AT ALL. I know I am not muted by the person I am trying to talk to in chat but it keeps the sender airplane button gray even when I have a message in the empty text container so I can’t say anything in chat and when the sender airplane button is blue I still can’t send cause it says there is an error with sending the message and tells me to try again and the person I tried to chat to does not get a notification and they don’t receive my message and chat doesn’t work for them either.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Used to love this app. I updated this on one of my devices and hate it! AI features are terrible and unwanted, issues viewing past conversations, and notification issues. The new ugly icon is really symbolic of the update choices.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Smiley face missing eyes and nose. Dumbest liquid glassy icon. What’s up with the McDonald’s style smiley face???

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    What the heck is this google?. So my current Google chat, doesn’t look like this? Is this a different emblem in Chat app altogether?

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Update foul up. The recent updates in May 26 have disconnected the notifications and the new format makes seeing ongoing existing conversations impossible. This update was worthless. Undo it please.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Logo. I hate it

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Dont update. Ugly new app icon. This icon is so ugly! Please change it. It looks cheap and doesnt even fit the look of the other google app icons.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    wtf this logo. FAHAHAHAHAH

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Terrible App. This is the worst chat app I’ve ever used, now with this worst icon it can become even worse — I have to use it every day for work god save me

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Notifications. When my friends message me, I don’t get the notifications, even though I have it enabled. I don’t know if this is a bug or something on my end but it’s super annoying and I can’t seem to fix it.

21. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    STOPPED WORKING CAUSE OF MY IPAD MODEL. Ok so this app sucks and it was the last straw for me because it has always been laggy and not just in my home and it always just deleted the app and then one day yesterday it said I could no longer use google chat because of my iPad model and I don’t have any other device that it is on . So I really don’t recommend it unless u have realllyyyyyy good wifi and one of the latest models

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Hate it. Thread is not cool. I hated. And every meeting this chat, created a new chat. So in 1 month you have thousands of chats 🙄😭

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Can’t even text. Won’t let me chat

24. ★★★★★account bans or deletion without explanation

    Account restricted. I don’t know who my account has been blocked I want it reinstated back thank you

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Outstanding balance. How much is it ?

26. ★★★★★data, history or progress disappears

    Can’t delete messages. It’s BS that I can’t delete messages and every way it says that I can delete messages doesn’t work. There is no delete option at all for an iPhone.

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Who cares. It is for pretending people talk when they don’t. Who would use it ?

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    It’s too much. I can’t get access to my Google chat

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Mass censorship. Mass censorship

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Scams. To many fake profiles and scams on this app
