Google Goes Social with Group Chat App “Spaces”


Google has announced  the launch of a new social app called, Spaces. The app which focuses on small group of people allow users to tap into other Google services, including Google Search, YouTube and Chrome, in order to post links and share content without having to move in between apps. They can also have conversations around that content in a group chat-like interface.
Spaces, available on iOS, Android and mobile web, will pose strong competition to Facebook’s Messenger and WhatsApp,  because of its focus on chatting and its mobile-friendly nature. 
Users can not only find and share web content from Google Search and YouTube, that content can also be viewed by others without having to leave the app and also contents shared in a dedicated space becomes searchable. Users can search their Spaces by keyword, which returns both links and images.
Google recommends the app could be used for a variety of purposes, such as study groups or trip planning on fans of a particular subject like comic books or tiny homes.
