Google is gradually rolling out a new update to Hangouts (v.2.1), which will bring quite a few changes and improvements to their messenger app, since the company originally integrated SMS/MMS and Google Hangouts into one message app.

The update will be spread internationally to users in stages, while the main change that you will notice is that SMS and chat conversations are now merged. With each message to/from the same recipient, you will be able to choose the service you would like to use and be able to switch back and forth with the ease of a switch. Apparently there will also be the option to unmerge them as well. You will be able to tell the difference between an SMS and a Hangouts chat within the conversation.
What’s more, the contacts section will also get a needed makeover: it will be simplified and separated into two categories of contacts: Hangouts contacts and Phone contacts, which I think will be a lot more intuitive than the way it has been.

Finally, as with most updates, Google has improved the app’s general performance. Features such as video call quality have been improved and SMS as well as MMS should now be more reliable.
If you can’t wait to get the update, they were able to mirror the APK over at the XDA developers forum. Please download at your own caution. Otherwise, just wait a few days and you should see the update on your smartphone!

Google Play gets a ‘People’ section, lets you know what content others are using

Curious what kind of apps your friends and folks you follow might recommend? Thanks to a new change to the Google Play app, you can do just that by bringing up the “People” section within Play’s menu.

The first time you open the People section you’ll be able to opt in and from there you’ll see several familiar faces, as well as major tech publications and other businesses. Clicking on a person/business brings open a sub menu and shows just some of their app activity. You can also view these users full Google+ profiles, though that will push you out of the Play app and over to G+.

This is certainly a fun way to discover new apps, while also potentially learning a bit more about the app habits of your friends, family and others you follow. So how do you get in on the update? Actually, it’s turned on server side, so no update is required. We can confirm that the app is live in the midwest US, and likely many other parts of the world as well.
