Google Talk was an instant messaging service that provided both text and voice communication.[1] The instant messaging service was variously referred to colloquially as Gchat, Gtalk, or Gmessage among its users.[2]
Google Talk was also the name of the client applications previously offered by Google to use the service. Google Talk applications were available for Microsoft Windows,[3] Android,[4] BlackBerry OS,[5] BlackBerry 10[5] and ChromeOS[6] operating systems. A Google Talk mobile web app had also been previously available.[7] In February 2015, the Windows client was discontinued and ceased to work, with Google recommending users to use Google Hangouts instead.[8][9] Users of Windows client were instructed to migrate to the Google Hangouts app on the Chrome browser platform.[10] Currently, Google is migrating its users from Google Hangouts, to Google Chat and Google Meet.
