Cons

● First, there is no way to delete messages from Hangouts. This can be a problem if you accidentally send a message to the wrong person or say something you shouldn't have. Once a message is sent, it's there forever.

● Second, Hangouts doesn't have a dedicated dark mode. This can make it difficult to use in low-light situations and cause eye strain.

● Finally, Hangouts doesn't have as many features as some of the other messaging apps out there. For example, it's missing things like GIF support and group chat options found in other apps.
