Yes. Agreed. I'm fed up of this. One day Hangouts is fine then next day everything has changed...swiped from left to view contacts, now it's a click. Swipe to delete, now its a button...few months later here we go again. Rinse and repeat for every Google app it seems.
A friend once said to me "iPhone hasn't changed since day 1, it's still the same stupid square icons, they can't innovate"...I was befuddled. There is a reason things stay the same. They work and users know them like second nature. Unless you have a REALLY good reason to change the paradigm, just don't. Mac OS X and Windows until recently didn't really change that much in terms of usability. Why does Google love to change everything constantly?
