Google Voice is a popular communication platform that allows users to make and receive calls, as well as send and receive texts and voicemails, using a single phone number. Recently, Google Voice received a major update that is sure to improve the call performance for its users, called “intelligent network switching”.
Seamless transition between Wi-Fi and cellular connections
The new update enables Google’s voice app to determine which connection offers better call quality and to switch between Wi-Fi and cellular connections. Therefore, if a user loses connection when on a Wi-Fi call, Google Voice will seamlessly switch to a cellular connection without interrupting. This is useful for users who may be on the go and moving between different network coverage areas.
In a similar update last year, Google Voice introduced several new features to improve the user experience. One of these features is the ability for users to create rules for incoming calls, which allows them to route calls in a variety of different ways and from a variety of different callers. Thus making it easier for users to send unknown callers to voicemail or even forward calls to another number.
Further, the update also brought smart replies to the platform, which gives users an easy way to respond to incoming messages. Therefore, when someone sends a message through Google Voice, the platform will suggest a few brief responses that the user can choose from. These responses are automatically generated based on the content of the incoming message and are quick and easy to send.
Overall, the latest update to Google Voice has several useful features that are sure to improve the call performance and experience for users. The ability to switch between Wi-Fi and cellular connections seamlessly is a welcome addition that will greatly benefit users of the platform.
