Google Hangout and its increasing popularity

Google Hangouts is already a full messaging application. It has a few drawbacks which results in its lagging behind whatsapp.

Few Drawbacks are these

• Hangouts don't shows who is online from your Phones contact list. This is one drawback which is quite a lag.
• Hangouts is associated with SIM. If you don't have a SIM, you cannot use Hangouts.

Whatsapp contains no such notable lags when compared to hangouts.

Although Google has equipped hangouts with very good voice calls and video conferencing functionalities which can be a trouble for Whatsapp in the near future.
