Google announced the Hangouts app for Android, iPhone, iPad and Chrome at the Google I/O few hours back. These apps are now available for download. This app brings photos, emoji, video calls, history and more. This app replaces the original Google Talk app on Android and it is a separate app for iPhone and iPad.
Since Google Talk comes pre-installed on Android it would say the app is already installed. If you still see the Talk when you open it, head to Google Play on desktop and try installing from there. If it says installed there too, login from different Google account (Account must be there on your device too) and install it. Still not working ? Try to side load the app manually from the link below. On Google Chrome the Chat for Google extension is replaced with Hangouts. It’s also part of Gmail and Google+.
