Well now you’re just teasing us Google.
Google’s telephony service Voice is seeing its first update in months, and what new awesome features or improvements can we look forward to?
Well… None actually…
No seriously. Firing up the app just brings a new pop up about how international rates will be announced before calls. I guess that’s… Cool?
Voice is starting to feel a little neglected. When Android 4.4.2 was released, it changed how Android handles defaults, and Voice can no longer be selected as the default SMS app. This is supremely frustrating for those of us who have been using Voice as our primary phone number.
We can be pretty sure that Voice will get swallowed up by the Hangouts app eventually, but there are no indications of this transition happening in this new Voice update.
Kind of a bummer. The update should be rolling out over the next couple days on Google Play, but it’s really no big deal if you get it anytime soon.
