Hangouts update adds status indicators, improved contact management

Ever since Google Hangouts came out a few months ago for Android, one of the primary complaints was the lack of proper status indicators, like Google Talk had. Today’s update to 1.2 adds that, with green chat bubbles indicating online and grey ones indicating offline. In addition, the update adds new categories to sort your contacts in – ”People you Hangout with,” “Suggested People,”  and “Other Contacts.”

Also, you can now long press on your contacts to hide them from appearing, pinch and zoom on pictures you receive. The update is rolling out as we post, so go to the download link past the break and see if its your turn.
