An unofficial Google Hangouts widget just landed in the Play Store, and I say unofficial because it isn’t from our Google devs. An XDA developer just released this new widget in the Play Store today, and anyone that used a text message widget, but was unable to utilize it because of the Hangouts integration, can now have it back.
The widget is very clean, and easy to set up. Just do your normal thing when it comes to adding a widget to your homescreen, and everything will be right as rain. Only thing you have to do extra is make sure your notification access has the widget checked. So click the Play Store link below, and let us know how you like it.
