Google has pushed a new update for its Hangout app on iOS. iPhone, iPod touch and iPad users can now download the Hangouts 2.0 app to experience a new user interface with improved performance. Google has added some new features like Stickers support, video messages, location sharing and optimised for iPad’s big screen with a two-pane conversation view.
