Hangouts and Gmail have been helping the billions communicate easily.
One thing I discovered when I started using chat in Gmail was it's missing the stickers from hangouts. A lot of people probably think those stickers are no good. Maybe the design seems dated or not so trendy. But I think they're awesome and I got used to using them. I really hope the makers of chat in Gmail and hangouts will bring the full set of classic stickers from hangouts to Google chat
They were so adorable
I want to go back to hangouts just for the stickers... They became part of my emotional communication language in significant relationships.... Without them in chat...I feel I can't express what I want to show. Emojis aren't right for everything. Those hangout stickers really hit quite a number of spots to express.
I hope that Google will please please please bring them to chat.

I know Hangouts is transitioning but I'm kind of worried when it's going to shut down or what will not be present in the new one. Sad
I've never seen such a careless disregard for a user base combined with the cognitive dissonance of new product releases. Hangouts, Duo, etc aren't circling the drain, they're already in the sewer.
May the original Gchat (with open APIs) rest in peace.
