Google has updated its Google Voice app for Android, iOS and the web users to manage their voice communication better by using their phone number. Jan Jedrzejowicz, Product Manager of Google Voice, said,
It’s been several years since we’ve made significant updates to the Google Voice apps and by several, we mean around five, but today we’re bringing a fresh set of features to Google Voice with updates to our apps on Android, iOS and the web.”
With this new upgrade, you will notice separate tabs for text messages, calls and voice mails in your Google Voice inbox. Your chat will stay in one continuous thread that makes it easier to keep up with the messages from your contacts in a single place. Google has also upgraded the messaging experience in the Google Voice app with support for group and photo MMS as well as in-notification replies. If you are currently using Hangouts for your Google Voice communication, there is no need to change to the new apps.
Google is also introducing voicemail transcription for Spanish. Though, its accuracy will improve over time. For more information about the updated Google Voice app, visit Google’s Help Center.
