Google Chat

Team messaging for Google Workspace

Google Chat is a messaging app for people who need to keep work conversations organised. Send direct messages, or use Spaces for discussions with a team or project group. It suits workplaces and groups that already use Google Workspace, as well as anyone who wants a dedicated place for work chat rather than mixing it with personal messages.

Conversations and shared work

Spaces give a team a shared home for ongoing conversations, while direct messages are better for one-to-one exchanges. Google Chat also works alongside Google Workspace tools, so teams can discuss shared files and coordinate work in the same place. The app is built around collaboration, not public social feeds or casual group chat.

What to expect

The layout separates private messages from group spaces, which helps when several conversations are active. If your organisation relies on Google tools, Chat can fit naturally into its existing way of working. Some features depend on the Workspace plan or settings available to your organisation, so the experience may vary between accounts.

Popularity and rating

Google Chat is published by Google LLC and has more than 50 million installs. Its 4.45-star rating is based on about 331,854 ratings, offering a broad snapshot of user feedback. As a business app, it is most useful when the people you need to reach are already using it for work.
