I rarely use it, mainly for work conferences. Doesn't crash, doesn't freeze. Everything suits me.
Google Hangouts is suddenly consuming 7 MB per day over mobile connection. To send a few plain text messages? It's ridiculous. I turned off the "Improve Hangouts" option but it didn't help.

This doesn't seem to happen anymore, but it's a bit dirty that Google embraced, extended and extinguished other chat protocols like AIM. It used to use an open-source protocol but then Google decided the walled garden would make them more money? Sigh.
Among my favorite chat clients, it’s really a shame that google is going to discontinue it at the end of 2021.
It was the easiest way to sync messages across all operating systems and mobile devices.
One of many chat tools
I still use hangouts, but I find it severely lacking in several aspects:
Now that they support multiple account video calling.
Simply works - on desktop in browser and on mobile phone. No chat however.
