Ratings and reviews

Google Chat feels basic and limited when it comes to status messages. While you can technically type up to 64 characters, the interface often truncates longer messages, so most of what you write isn’t fully visible. Unlike other platforms, there’s no reliable way to make your status stand out or fully readable in all views. Overall, it works for simple communication, but the status feature feels half-baked and frustrating if you want to share more than a few words. For a feature meant to express

Such A GREAT APP Google chat is one of the best platforms to interact and enjoy talking with one another, you can change the fonts of your text ,put cool GIF , make meetings in an instant click . And the best of all if you think that no one saw your message in a group chat ,,(you can see ,how many people saw your message) . You only need a person's email to text with them .

I mean, if forced to use, ok, but really, the chat kinda sucks! If forcing a replacement, the least it could be is better than what is replaced. For desktop, there's no browser extension and the desktop app is basically just a browser without tabs. What is spaces and why? If this is something for businesses that use Google products, leave it on that side of things. Setting up groups worked perfectly fine. No separate space needed.
