Google Talk History

Google talk is a service that allows the users to chat with friends and family over the internet. Google is making efforts to make it more and more better. Google talk allows the user to block any unwanted contact. But there is no option to unblock that contact. If you happened to block any of your contact and want to get it back, then follow the given procedure.
Sign in to your gmail account and open your inbox.
In the module of google talk, type the user name of the blocked contact. Point over the link of the profile and click the button of chat.
Open the chat window of the contact. Google talk will show the status of the contact as offline. Write any message. You will get the message “You cannot send a message to a blocked contact.”
Now just click the button of Options given at the bottom of the chat window and click the option of Unblock.
This way you will get the contact back and can send and receive messages without any problem.


“Are Google talk conversations stored by the program somewhere on the computer like Cookies folder or Temp files?? If yes where are they stored?”

Google Talk does have a “Chat History” where it will save your chat messages, but you will need to enable this feature first in Google Talk “Settings”. You can then have all your chat messages saved in your Gmail account where it can be search-able. You can also easily delete these chat messages as well just like any other type of mail.

Google Talk does not store chat messages on your computer by default but if you use third party chat clients to chat there are no guarantee’s that it’s not being saved somewhere locally on your computer. Here’s what Google says about this issue:

“Unfortunately not. People can choose to access Google Talk using a variety of third party clients and some clients save chats locally to the users’ computers. We can only guarantee that when you go off the record, the chat history is not being automatically saved or made searchable in either person’s Gmail account. We can’t guarantee what the other person is doing, since, as is the case for all chats, the other person could always be cutting and pasting, and saving the contents of the chat elsewhere.”
