However, on September 15, 2011, Google announced a new feature of its Google Takeout program that allows users to download chat logs via IMAP. For a long time, it was not possible to directly download chat logs that were not attached to an email conversation, although some workarounds had been found. This allowed users to search their chat logs and have them centrally stored in their Gmail accounts. As it worked within a browser, the Google Talk client did not need to be downloaded to send instant messages to Gmail users.Ĭonversation logs were automatically saved to a "Chats" area in the user's Gmail account.
Google Talk was integrated into Gmail where users could send instant messages to other Gmail users. Currently, Google is migrating its users from Google Hangouts, to Google Chat and Google Meet. It remains possible to connect to Google Talk with compatible third-party clients such as Pidgin and Gajim.

Google Talk was also the name of the client applications previously offered by Google to use the service. The instant messaging service was variously referred to colloquially as Gchat, Gtalk, or Gmessage among its users.
