Insiza yezingcingo nezingcingo ze-Google, I-Hangouts, ayinakho ukubethela kokuphela kokuphela (end-to-end), okusho ukuthi, ngomyalelo wenkantolo, izingxoxo zethu zingathathwa noma ziqashwe ngaphandle kwethu ukunaka. Okuthile okungenzeki nge-FaceTime ye-Apple.
AbakwaGoogle bebengakaze banikeze imininingwane ngayo kuze kube yi-AMA yakamuva (Ngibuze noma yini = ngibuze ukuthi ufunani) kuReddit futhi, yize kungaziwa kahle ukuthi umbuzo ubuyini, ubungozi obungaba khona bukhona. Umkhulumeli ophendulile uqinisekisa ukuthi "Ama-Hangouts awasebenzisi ukubethela kokuphela kokuphela", okuyi kuzovumela i-Google ukuthi ifinyelele futhi ithumele izingxoxo zethu ngaphandle kwabasebenzisi bekwazi ukwenza noma yini ngakho.
I-FaceTime, ukubiza kwe-Apple nesevisi yokushaya ividiyo, isebenzisa ukubethela kokuphela kokuphela. Okuqukethwe izingcingo zethu kuyimfihlo, kuphephile futhi kutholakala kuphela kithi nakubantu esikhuluma nabo. Ngokobuchwepheshe, i-Apple ingenza uhlobo lokuhlasela ukuze "ingene phakathi" kwezokuxhumana, kepha lezo zeCupertino zicace bha ukuthi ubumfihlo bamakhasimende abo yinto ebaluleke kakhulu futhi akunakwenzeka ukuthi bazokwenza lokho.
Kuma-Hangouts, njenge-Skype, ukubethela kokuphela akukho futhi esimweni se-Google kubonakala sengathi akunasiqinisekiso sokuphepha salolu hlobo. Kepha akufanele kusimangaze ukuthi izinkampani ezinemodeli yebhizinisi eyinhloko yokukhangisa "inentshisekelo yokufunda" ngemikhuba yethu.
Enye inkinga yokungabi nalolu hlobo lokubethela yilokho umsebenzisi ononya angafinyelela izingxoxo zethu sime phakathi kwethu nomuntu esikhuluma naye futhi sithole konke esikushoyo, yize kuyinto engeke yenzeke futhi ikakhulu uma singenakho okubalulekile okungaba nentshisekelo kubulelesi obuku-cyber.
Ngokusobala, kunezizathu eziningi zokusebenzisa i-Hangouts noma i-Skype. Isizathu esikhulu ukuthi Lezi zinsizakalo ezimbili ziyi-multiplatform futhi singayisebenzisa kunoma iyiphi idivayisi enokuxhumeka kwe-inthanethi nje, into engenzeki nge-FaceTime ngoba sidinga ukuxhumana kwethu ukuze sibe nedivayisi ye-Apple ukuze sikwazi ukuxhumana naye.
