Google has updated Hangouts for Android devices and added the ability to send responses to incoming notifications.
The new function makes it quicker to fire off replies, as it doesn’t require users to fully open the Hangouts app. Hangouts 7.0 also now lets users pin conversation shortcuts to the home screen for quick access to specific threads.
Hangouts 7.0 requires Android 4.1 and up and is free to download from the Google Play Store.
