Instant messaging and video chat

You can use the Google Hangouts™ instant messaging and video chat application on

your device to chat with friends who also use the application on computers, Android™

devices and other devices. You can turn any conversation into a video call with

several friends, and you can send messages to friends even when they are offline.

You can also view and share photos easily.
Before you start using Hangouts™, make sure that you have a working Internet

connection and a Google™ account. Go to http://support.google.com/hangouts and

click the "Hangouts on your Android" link to get more detailed information about how

to use this application.

The video call function only works on devices with a front camera.
