Google quietly drops Who’s Down app, lets your friends know you want to hang out

Google just released a new app that will let your friends know you’re up for hanging out. The Who’s Down app is currently invite only, which Google does a lot with its newer apps and services. If you do have an invite, what you can do is have access to a quick toggle switch that lets your friends know you are “down” to do a specific activity.
