I use the Gmail, native-Android client, on my phone, and it's like an e-mail chat, now.

I automatically write shorter messages, since they changed the interface.

And we noticed. I bothered me how customers felt like it was a text. Like IDK who you are, we aren't friends, now I have to figure it out by trying to look up your email address, which you probably used a different one to buy the product with. GRRRRR. It makes support so difficult. And people assume youll respond in like 5 minutes because its a "text" to them.

Also Google products on my smart phone. yucky

transcripts of my Google voice get redirected to my gmail - that is pretty much the only use case for me - cuz I never take a voice call :-)

I do use aerc in terminal to access my gmail .. which lets me know someone called without having to fire up GUI .. works pretty well ..

Later if I return the call .. I find they are very busy 😂 .. and there was actually nothing important 😕
