The previous incarnation of what's now hangouts was seamlessly updated on whatever phone I had at the time when it was phased out. I don't even remember the name because it doesn't matter. Been on android since froyo without issue of the messenger app being retired.
It's not going anywhere anytime soon like I said and when it does, it'll get updated with the next thing and still have chat, voice, and video.
