Hangouts is getting an update this week and its supposed to upgrade it so its more integrated and do more things that people want. I cant give details but i think it merges things into a single thread. I read it hours ago and skimmed thru it but there is a APK out already if you want it now.

The update is already being pushed I got it yesterday.
 
Every single person I know in the UK uses WhatsApp.
Whatsapp is hugely popular and nearly all my friends use it daily. It has a better group messaging capability than iMessage but I do use both. Not sure what the Facebook buy out will do to Whatsapp as I've seen some screen shots around the net and it looks worryingly like Facebook messenger with a revised layout. I hope for one they keep it simple and don't over complicate it as it has gained popularity due to it being an SMS equivalent messenger, rather than having a social media influence until now.

Facebook didn't really mess with Instagram that much, so really hoping that they don't mess with WhatsApp.

It could use a bit of improvement here/there but it function perfectly well as it is. Much better than iMessage, in my opinion.
