Ultra Violet is the Upcoming Upgrade for Google Hangouts for Desktops

Ultra Violet for Google Hangouts for desktops is expected soon

Don’t you just love the messaging apps? Over a year ago Google launched the Hangouts app which is the successor of the Google Talk. The first version of the app did not have a lot to impress its users with. However Google quickly begun adding up improvements. Not long after the Hangouts app became available for download, the company included SMS support and merged conversations amongst other features. Google Hangouts is one of the most popular free to use messaging apps today. 

The good news for all the users of the application is that an update is coming soon. The source of the leak is Florian Kiersch who posted screen shots of the “Ultra Violet.” According to Kiersch this is the codename for the upgraded version of the popular messaging app. The Ultra Violet comes with an improved design and functionality and new features. One of them is a new extension for Google Chrome browser. Something interesting that is noticed on the pictures is that the Ultra Violet’s extension can be moved around on the desktop of the user. 

The upcoming features include Chat Heads-style icons for each conversation of the user. The sources reveal that Ultra Violet is still undergoing tests. There is no information about its launching yet. The upcoming features are purposed for the desktop versions of the app. Google is yet to unveil whether it is planning to include them in the Hangouts for Android as well. Stay tuned. 

few words at the end: The messaging apps are providing more fulfilling mobile interaction than ever.
