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. In May 2013, Google announced its plan to drop support for the open XMPP standard in favor of proprietary Google+ Hangouts. Other XMPP clients, such as Pidgin and Psi, were compatible with Google Talk's text chat (IM), allowing text chat with XMPP users on a variety of platforms. This included EarthLink, Gizmo5, Tiscali, NetEase, Chikka, MediaRing, and, according to Google, 'thousands of other ISPs, universities, corporations and individual users.' Google Talk supported messaging with any service provider that supports the XMPP protocol.

Google Talk used XMPP to provide real-time extensible messaging and presence events, including offline messaging and voice mailing. Google announced that a major goal of the Google Talk service is interoperability (which was abandoned around 2013). It remained possible to connect to Google Talk with compatible third-party apps such as Pidgin and Gajim.
