google-hangoutsiosnotifications
On iOS 9 I would utilize the quick reply functionality to reply to Google Hangout messages. However, since upgrading to iOS 10 I am no longer able to use quick reply as a swipe left on a Hangout notification only gives the option to clear.
Is there an iOS 10 setting that I need to enable for Hangouts to be able to quick reply? Or is this something that Google needs to change with Hangouts to accommodate iOS 10's new notification APIs?
Make sure you've selected the Plantronics device in the mic chooser window in the Hangouts settings once the Hangout has begun (gear icon.)
Change the default setting (which should be the internal mic on the Mac if there is one:)
To Plantronics:
(I have the Blue Snowball connected in this screen cap.)
Try Jitsi for OSX, it supposedly handles voice for Google Hangouts, but to be honest...
The best way I have found to do this is just to use the following Chrome extension called Hangouts, by Google: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hangouts/nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd?utm_source=plus
The thing is that Google Hangouts is no longer a open XMPP/Jabber protocol its sort of a mutant breed of this technology that is becoming more and more closed off providing features across more open traditional Jabber accounts.
The only caveat is that DON'T quit chrome or it dies, my default browser is Firefox fyi. So I run chrome, click the little hangouts bubble, close all the chrome windows and get the cool Hangouts buddy list every time I hover my mouse in the lower right corner of my screen: OSX Yosemite 10.10.4

Swiping left now universally gives the option to clear notifications.
Apps that haven't been explicitly updated for iOS 10 should still reveal their current swipe options by long-pressing (iPhone 6 and earlier) or 3D touching (iPhone 6s and later) on the notification.
I just received a notification via Google Hangouts and upon 3D touching on the notification on my iPhone 7 lock screen, I got two options as seen in the first screenshot (Reply and View). Tapping Reply presented me with the quick reply screen.
