Can Alphabet make Google Hangouts a Success? #infographic

But as the firm continues to move away from its social networking service, our midweek Chart of the Day looks at prospects for one of the platform’s most successful spin-offs: Google Hangouts. Globally, Hangouts is used by 5% of internet users, putting it well behind the market leaders of mobile messaging (like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and WeChat). As with Google+ itself, though, Hangouts is most popular in fast-growth markets, with usage peaking in India, Mexico and Philippines. In fact, around three-fifths of its user-base is coming from emerging countries.
