Today an updated version of Google Hangouts began rolling out, adding a number of new features. Many of these features aren’t really that exciting, but they certainly fix a couple annoying little bugs that were introduced when SMS and MMS support was added to Hangouts.
One of the biggest problems of Hangouts 2.0 was that it automatically converted SMS messages sent to multiple people to MMS messages – something that could cost extra money for a lot of users. Users can now disable this and not use MMS when sending a text to multiple recipients.

Until now Hangouts also had a bug that meant it used its own APN settings, ignoring how users might have configured their APN settings outside of Hangouts. Users can now configure APN settings within Hangouts instead of the app using its own settings. This feature is still not available on all devices, but we should expect to see it roll out to more devices as time goes on or in future updates.
You can download Hangouts 2.0.2 below or wait for the Play Store push.
