you guys want to talk about frustration and pain from hangouts? pffff, try this:

an important new client calls you on your google voice number, which routs to hangouts. You don't yet have their number as it isn't in your Google Contacts or your Phone Contacts.

You answer, but are busy, or need to look up something for them, and you tell them you'll call them right back.

You get the info you need and you look to your recent calls for the call THAT JUST CAME IN LITERALLY A MINUTE AGO. It's not there. Hangouts does not save incoming calls. (or at least it didn't a year ago)

Why? Who the fuck knows??!

Google Hangouts: We Don't Give A Shit.

Exactly my experience. I was always wondering, if I'm just too stupid to figure out how to see recent calls. Glad I'm not alone.
This is why I have my Google voice number forward to another platform.
