How to use Google Talk on Android Devices

Do you want a free way to keep in touch with friends who use a gadget that sports either an iOS or an Android OS? We think that the best answer to that lies in something called Google Talk. This also works should you wish to talk to someone who has a Gmail account on a laptop, for instance. Have we sparked your interest yet? If you replied “Yes”, then we need to have a talk on the subject. More precisely: a talk on how exactly to use such a tool.

Because Talk (the shorter name) is so great since it helps you video chat, chat or communicate with your loved ones via chats, below you have our guide on how to have fun with it if you’ve never tried it.

But first we have to ask this of you: do you have a Google account and a compatible Android device? If yes, you can move on to the first step. If you don’t have an account, then you need to create it. How? Take a stroll to Google and do what they tell you to there.Google-Talk-android
