Mood sharing, more comes to Google Hangouts iOS in update

Because it seemingly can’t go five minutes without updating something, Google has upgraded its iOS Hangouts app. It doesn’t quite put the app in line with its newly-updated Android brother, but there are some nice new features like mood sharing.

Specifically, the refresh adds the ability to share what device you’re using, if you’re currently in a call, and the ability to express what mood you’re feeling at the moment. Again, nothing earth shattering, but some nice bonuses for those using Google software on Apple platforms (we call them Goopples).

How does this news make us feel? Excited? Depressed? Try pessimistically indifferent. See? Mood sharing is awesome.
