Google Chat APK

The Google Chat app is the perfect office integration tool that works perfectly between teams using an intelligent and secure communication and collaboration tool. This app enables easy Google Workspace content creation and comes with the ability to share Docs, Sheets, and Slides even without having to grant permissions.

This app evolved from the previously known Hangouts app. Its service is also accessible from within Gmail alongside Chat and Meet as part of the Google Workspace expansion to all Gmail users.

If you want to use Google Chat, you must have a Google Workspace account, which is currently open to all Google users. You do not need a paid Workspace account to use Google Chat; it’s available even for free users. Paid accounts for organizations start at $6 per person per month.

The app’s interface is pretty easy and straightforward. Its left-side menu shows a list of Rooms (sometimes called channels) you’ve joined and Chats (otherwise known as direct messages).

When you click on one, the conversation from the Room or Chat opens in the main window. Compared with Slack’s or Microsoft Teams’ designs, Google Chat’s interface is airy.

Each Room has tabs for Chat, Files, and Tasks. This enables users to quickly navigate to see all the files everyone has shared in a Room, as well as view and assign tasks to one another or themselves.

When you share a file from Google Drive, Google Chat automatically provides a pop-up box that lets you change the sharing settings and make the file accessible to others.

Once a file is shared in a chat, you can open it in the same window to view or edit it using the same options (suggestions, direct edits, comments) that you have in Google Docs or most other Google Workspace apps.

It’s a perfect app if you want to collaborate with your team on the go. Let us know if you liked it by leaving a comment down in the comments section below after using the app.
