Video messages have made it to the latest Hangouts update, an update that at the moment has not officially reached Spain but from here Androidsis We are going to teach you how to update manually by downloading the apk of the latest version of Hangouts, version 11 with which we will now be able to enjoy this new functionality of being able to send video messages to all our Hangouts user contacts.
In the video attached to the header of this post, in addition to teaching them how to use this new Hangouts video messaging feature and teach them how to download the correct apk from a reliable source As well as the simple installation of it, I have also allowed myself the license to give you my opinions about the strange mystery that hangs over the Hangouts application, in previous versions of Android known as Gtalk, which, although it is a very good application of Communication that allows us things as interesting as free calls or video calls and even with the option of making them to more than one person at a time, is still far behind in terms of use and popularity, of other applications such as the almighty WhatsApp that even when it was a paid application it was far above in terms of use and popularity when compared to Hangouts.
The truth is that this of what Hangouts is in popularity so far behind WhatsApp is a real unsolved mystery, and the fact is that the Google messaging application has practically everything, even the main thing being that it comes pre-installed as standard and by default in most Android terminals that are launched daily on the international market. So due to lack of users, it won't be, don't you think?
The truth is that even though it is an application pre-installed in most Android terminals, the certain fact is that a vast majority of Android users do not even know what this Hangouts is for, and the rest, those who do know it and use it from time to time, even though it is much better and giving us many more possibilities and options than WhatsApp, they feel like they are trapped by WhatsApp, as if a loyalty or fidelity problem arises. In any case, which prevents them from abandoning the WhatsApp application and opting for another application of the style, no matter how much better it was.
Well, having said that, we are going in parts and as I explain and tell you in the video, I am going to leave you the direct link so that you can download the official version of Hangouts in its latest version 11, which is the one that includes the novelty that I indicated in the title of this post, which is none other than the new added functionality of being able to send video messages.
As I already explained to you in the attached video with which we began this post, from apk mirror you are going to have to download the Hangouts 11 apk that adapts to the characteristics of your Android terminal according to this list that I attach:
- ARM for 32-bit architectures
- ARM64 for 64-bit architectures
- X86 for Intel processors such as Tablets and Android Personal Computers
Finally you are going to have to select the correct file according to the pixel density of your Android terminal. If you do not know very well which apk to download since you have no idea of this data, you just have to use the installation of an app such as Antutu that will give us the relevant information to all these aspects of the hardware of our Android.
Once the apk is downloaded, to install Hangouts for the first time or update it to this latest version that includes the functionality of video messages, you will only have to enable from Settings / Security, the option that allows us to install apps from unknown sources. Then it will be enough to click on the said downloaded apk file for the installation or update of the application to begin.
