Check your internet connection and make sure you have updated the Google Chat app to the most recent version. There are three places that the IT Department could see it: In Transit.

Check out the following article to learn everything about sending and sharing files in chat messages. Yes if your Google Hangouts data has synced onto your work computer the IT department could view it. Yes, you can react with emojis, and my mom no longer accidentally calls me when she leaves the chat open on her phone. There’s really almost nothing that’s an improvement here. Again, Google trying to keep you tethered to their products. WTAF the computer app isn’t a standalone app! You have to have Gmail open in Chrome to be able to use it even though you have to install it separately. I’m used to it, but toggling back and forth to figure out where the new message is is still a nuisance. Separation of individuals and “rooms” confused everyone in my family (we use this as our primary communication). Why on earth does it keep a copy of every link or image I send in the chat text box? Why would I want that when it’s right there as the last thing I sent? I hate having to delete it just to continue the conversation. Hangouts shared videos right away, so I know they don’t have to do it like this. Here are all the problems I’ve encountered: - Can’t share files unless they’re in Google Drive (Google trying to limit you to using their products) - Videos are uploaded when you share them, which means it takes FOREVER. I’m so tired of this nonsensical app that I have to say something. At the top of the conversation window, click Settings.

Google Chat is at its best on the mobile app, but if you’re using it regularly, across mobile and in the desktop chrome extension, you’ll quickly see the questionable choices made by the developers.

But just like your inbox, over time, these searches can pile up. When trying to locate a message using the search box, you can either type out keywords or let Gmail auto-populate the search term after you type a few letters.
