What's New in This Release:

· Merged conversations: SMS and Hangout conversations with the same recipient are now combined into a single conversation. You can control whether you want to send a message via Hangouts or SMS with the flip of a switch, and different message types will be easy to tell apart in the conversation. Of course, you can always merge and unmerge conversations if you'd like.
· Simplified contact list: now there's two main sections in contacts - People you Hangout With, and Phone Contacts - making it simpler to navigate, and easier to use for SMS.
· Homescreen widget: add the Hangouts widget to your homescreen for quick access to your recent conversations.
· Performance improvements: today's update includes better quality video calls, as well as improved SMS and MMS reliability.
