Recently Hangouts was updated to include support for SMS and MMS messaging.There is one small bug that has been discovered, and it could prove to be very annoying indeed.
Basically when your system is overloaded with emojis, as in if a friend decides to send you hundreds of emojis at once, Hangouts crashes. Now that’s not exactly surprising, but the real problem comes when you try and reopen Hangouts, and it tries to reload all those emoji, resulting in another crash.
As of right now the only fix to the problem is to log in to Hangouts from your computer and leave the Hangout with all the emoji, which is rather inconvenient. Despite the inconvenience, Google has been made aware of the issue and is reportedly working on a fix.
