Reportedly Google hangouts has a new feature called "sketch a message", and with this feature you can sketch anything in hangouts app and send it in message but this feature is not rolled out yet but according to android police many people reported that they have already saw this feature.But it is not the only thing to tell you, also hangouts update 2.1.233 came up with the bug fixes and also with some other features. As I posted before that hangouts was crashing on reload of emojis and battery drain issue is also resolved in this update.
There’s also a hidden contacts area in the settings menu separate from blocked people allowing you to hide people, while still being able to see those conversations. Even though Hangouts has allowed users to block people for a while, this is the first time you've had access to the people you've blocked. Another new feature includes the ability for users to change notification sounds for individual chats.
So you can wait for this update by playstore which have feature of staged update or can download now from this link hangouts thanks to XDA Otherwise you can download app from Playstore.
