Google is certainly no stranger to the artform of Easter eggs, especially on their Android phones.
Since then, plenty of Easter eggs have popped up within media, including hiding a chronologically-edited version of Christopher Nolan’s Memento within the DVD menu, including a shootable photo of John Romero in Doom 2 (the series he co-created), and Apple hiding the 1984 launch date for the original Macintosh back in 2012 when downloading applications from the Mac App Store. The first Easter egg was found in an Atari video game called Adventure, where programmer Warren Robinett hid his name within the game despite the corporate rule at Atari at the time dictating that programmers weren’t allowed in the credits of the game. Easter eggs have been included in video games, DVD menus, applications, and even operating systems. In technology, an Easter egg is a secret, hidden feature or tool included purposefully by developers to give folks looking for some extra content something to find. As with Android, you’ll have to sign in with your Google account on iOS to use the app.
On iOS, you can download the app for free from the App Store here. If you’ve uninstalled or don’t have the app on your device, the Android version is available for free for download from the Google Play store here. If it is, simply load the application and login with your Google account automatically to load your friends, make video and VOIP calls, and start chatting with users. On most Android phones, Hangouts is included right out of the box – check your app drawer or, on Samsung devices, the included Google folder to see if Hangouts is there. On mobile platforms, accessing the chat app is even easier. Alternatively, you can also click here or head to to access your Hangouts client from the web. Once you find the Hangouts icon, tap it and Hangouts should load within your browser. If Hangouts isn’t shown here, try tapping the”Show More” icon at the bottom of the list. There, you’ll see access to a ton of other Google applications. Start by heading over to your Gmail account, then tap the grid of icons in the top-right corner of your browser.
There’s a couple ways to gain access to Google Hangouts from within Google itself. Once you’ve activated Google Hangouts and logged in with your Gmail account, you can start a chat with any of your Gmail contacts right from your devices while at home or on the go.
It’s really easy to access Hangouts from your Gmail account, your smartphone, or any other web-enabled device. If you haven’t used Google Hangouts before, you’re in luck.
If you’re wondering how to activate these tricks, or even what they consist of, read on – we’ve got the full guide for you below. These secrets, or ‘easter eggs,’ are excellent ways to liven up your chat communications, no matter who you’re talking with. One of our favorite aspects of the chat app is Google’s animated emoji collection that can be activated by using keywords and phrases to immediately activate the animations within your chats. Keeping with Google’s fun-loving spirit, Hangouts includes a number of secrets, hidden features, and so much more for chatting with your friends no matter where they are. Still, despite the change in audience, Hangouts is the perfect app for anyone looking to chat with their friends, family, and loved ones around the world. The app even used to support SMS messaging, though that’s been removed over the past year in an effort to refocus the app for business users primarily. Hangouts is an all-in-one chat application, with support for instant messaging, video chat, VOIP calls, and so much more. One of our favorite chat applications from Google, though, is Google Hangouts, an application that can support most of the features of the previous and newer apps above.
Just in the last few years alone, Google has created Android Messages, an SMS and RCS messaging client for Android phones, Google Allo, a WhatsApp-like instant messaging service that only works on phones, with no web client or tablet support, and Google Duo, a Facetime-like video chat service. It’s no secret that Google loves experimenting and creating new messaging tools for its users while trying to find the perfect one.
