Hangouts Widget

Hangouts Widget is a small, simple application that enables you to add a convenient widget for Hangouts onto the home screen or lock screen of your Android device.

Of course, for Hangouts Widget to work you'll first need to have Hangouts itself installed. After all, Hangouts Widget is nothing more than an additional widget add-on to the Google's popular instant messaging system.

The best part of Hangouts Widget, aside from its convenience, is the fact that it looks quite elegant on the lock screen. And if you place it there, you'll be able to see all of your messages by simply turning on the screen of your device.
