Hangouts

Previously known as Google Talk™, is an updated place to hangout, share photos, and even
video calls. This is a free web‑based application for instant messaging offered by Google.
Conversation logs are automatically saved to a Chats area in your Gmail account. This
allows you to search a chat log and store them in your Gmail accounts.
Note: Before using this application, you must first have an active Gmail account available
and be currently loggedin.
1. From the Home screen, tap Apps g Hangouts.
2. If prompted, select whether to enable SMS messaging via the Hangouts application.
3. If prompted, read the on‑screen information and confirm your phone number is
correct before using the application. Tap Confirm.
Note: Confirming your phone number does not make it publicly available.
