Google started moving Workspace users to Chat and Spaces last week.
HANGOUTS NOT WORKING ANDROID

Ironically, Hangouts on iPad has a better experience than Chat in its standalone app or Gmail. Apparently, a plug-in is missing or doesn't work. I can open Google Hangouts page, but cannot use the messaging utility. I tried Firefox add-ons but they don't work. The Android client is still available on the Play Store as of this afternoon. Very suddenly, Google Hangouts no longer works with Firefox, as of the evening of June 11th. Removing the iPhone and iPad listing for new users is clearly a step to the Google Hangouts application being disabled. The app still works for those that have it installed, but you first have to close (top-right corner) the “Move to Google Chat in Gmail” page that will sign you out of classic Hangouts entirely to avoid duplicate notifications from the Gmail or standalone Chat apps. You will be given a link from which you can start the Hangout with a handy Slack control panel on the. To start a Hangout, enter /hangout in any channel. This integration allows you to easily start a Hangout with the members of a channel. As part of this “all classic Hangouts applications, except, will be disabled.” Google Hangouts lets you communicate with your team via instant messaging, voice calls, and video calls. Last month, Google said it would start making Chat the default application for Workspace customers that didn’t already migrate. PT: Searching for “Hangouts” in the App Store no longer brings up the app listing, while the direct link is also dead. It no longer appears in search results, but is still available for those that have already downloaded the app.
HANGOUTS NOT WORKING UPDATE
Update 3/29: Hangouts for Android has been removed from the Play Store for new users. As part of this, Google said it would disable the old Hangouts mobile apps, and that looks to be underway with the iPhone app now removed from the App Store. In the coming weeks, Google Chat will replace classic Hangouts for Workspace customers.
