Dear Google - Let Me Start A Hangout From My Watch

I love android and all my google products. I even wear a watch but for some incredibly unbelieve reason they have omitted the ability to starta hangout from the google voice command.

Why can't I say, "Ok Google, send a message to John Doe" and have it auto choose hangouts instead of SMS. It seems like hangouts should just be the default. At least give me the option to say, "OK Google start a hangout with John Doe"

Its so crazy because you can in fact reply to a hangout, just not start one. Its almost more work to write all these disclaimers about how it doesn't work than to just fix it.


Some things you can’t do with Hangouts on Android Wear

Keep in mind that you can't do certain things with Hangouts on your watch that you could do on your phone.

Start a new Hangouts conversation. You can only reply to a Hangouts message you received.
Start a group Hangout or add a person to a conversation
Start a video call
Share your mood
Send a multimedia message
Sign out of Hangouts



How are they missing out on this? You would think google programmers could fix this in like 30 seconds but it hasn't been available since the watches came out. UGH.
