Why does Google Hangout not permit individual messages or talk sessions to be erased?

Без кейворда

You can now lightly erase individual message or talk session by using a third party website. You can go after some effortless steps and your job will be done in few minutes. Its FREE, Effortless and QUICK. Do give it a attempt!

Google seems to understand that it needs to pare its messenger story down to a few apps that cover everyone’s needs (so it’s lighter for people to overlook them all and use WhatsApp anyway). And, to some extent, that’s what is happening, but everything feels so chaotic and is switching before replacements are ready.

It just feels like Google has gone off the deep end.

Some people use the word confusing to describe Google’s strategy here, but no matter what words are used it all still feels rushed — something you would expect from amateurs instead of one of the thickest tech companies in the world. It just feels like Google has gone off the deep end.

I’m going to take responsibility for what every blogger or journalist has done wrong here because some of the confusion is our fault. It’s effortless (and joy) to write about seemingly random switches and go after with a jab at Google for doing them. But if you break things down you can guess at Google’s strategy.

  • Hangouts is now a decent enterprise implement. Or at least it will be. Hangouts Meet and Hangouts Talk sound like, together, a potential Slack replacement for every company that uses Google Docs. Watching what it will (hopefully) be capable of, I imagine Mobile Nations is going to give it a spin because we are a Google Docs shop.
  • Google Talk is dead. It needed to die so the places it lives can be used for Hangouts Talk. Nobody uses the Google Talk app on their phone or tablet, and while having it tied to Gmail is superb, having Hangouts Talk there is better for the people who live in Gmail all day. They are the people who will use Hangouts Talk to talk to their requiring boss from Toronto (Ed note: Damnit, Jerry). Or something.
  • Allo is Google’s app for people who don’t want to use SMS. And that is a lot of people. I had hoped Google would use Allo and Duo to provide an iMessage-like practice, but instead, it’s the Mountain View version of WhatsApp. It’s also a indeed good app, but nobody wants to use it because WhatsApp has a gazillion more users. Had Google worked things out and brought Allo to us before WhatsApp exploded, things may be different.
  • Duo is Google’s movie calling app. It’s a indeed nice app with a fatal flaw: you can’t set up a group call. A lot of work went into making things effortless and delivering the best movie feed possible for every level of bandwidth, but Hangouts used to let fifteen people get together and look at each other. We are not likely to leave behind that and will complain instead of using Duo, or at least complain while using it. I know I will. Especially when I use Hangouts Meet for work stuff and can’t use it for anything else unless I get a Google Apps account or am invited to a Hangout by someone with a Gapps account. WTF, Google?
  • Android Messages is one thing Google is doing right. Too bad it depends on your carrier to also do it right , and that will take forever and an act of God because your carrier wants your friends to switch to it rather than make its features available to users on another provider. I wish Google was working on some way for people using Android Messages to have a superb IM practice with each other without using SMS to do it. But, technically, they have Allo for that.
  • Google Voice has been improved so it’s a nicer practice for when you want to send texts from your tablet or use the same number on more than one phone. Unless you use Project Fi . Then you’re screwed. Also, why is there no screw emoji? They have “ear of Maize” so it will have to do.
  • Supersonic exists to give us one more thing to wonder about and for Russell Holly to talk to himself and the Supersonic help talk bot.

Now for the big question: How the hell do you make all these switches without pissing everyone off and confusing the hell out of a person who just bought their very first Android phone and wants a replacement for iMessage?

This stuff is hard, and the way Google is doing it makes it seem even tighter.

You don’t. That means you most likely should be switching everything all at once.

I won’t pretend that I would be a good businessman. I have a hard time determining what side to get with my steak or what socks to wear. I imagine some indeed brainy people in expensive suits sitting at a giant mahogany table using slips and big words to make these decisions, but then I see them in act and realize it could just as lightly be a bunch of folks who tumbled out of a clown car. I have no idea what Google is thinking, and it’s kind of hard to assume they have a comprehensive plan.

Google I/O is coming. It would be a superb time for someone to explain something. If they do, we’ll tell you all about it. And if they don’t we’ll keep scraping our goes and guessing at what they have planned.

Now let me response your question in details-:

Unluckily, its not possible to delete selective message from google hangouts, keeping "off the record" talk and "deleting your hangout history" options might be helpful sometimes.

Turn Hangout history on or off

With Hangouts history, you can save and reread all the messages sent in a conversation.

By default, history is on for all Hangouts, but you can turn it off and on for each Hangout at any time. If you use Google through your work or school, your domain administrator can switch this default setting.

Turn your Hangout's history on or off

When you or someone else in the Hangout switches the Hangout history settings, the setting will switch for all participants and a notification will showcase in the Hangout window.

Note: If you're talking to someone who uses a different desktop talk client, it's possible that their software keeps a separate copy of the conversation's history.

  1. On your computer, open Hangouts at hangouts.google.com or in Gmail .
  2. Click a Hangout to open it.
  3. At the top right of the Hangouts window, click Settings .
  4. Check or uncheck the box next to "Hangout history."Checked: History is turned on. Messages can be seen in the Hangout on your computer, smartphone, and tablet. Messages are also saved in your Gmail account.Unchecked: History is turned off. Messages can be seen in the Hangout for a brief period on your computer, smartphone, and tablet.
