Hangouts for iPhone now lets you call and send animations
The company Google continues to develop its applications, even when it is about giving service to terminals of the competition. Thus, it has recently updated the application Hangouts for iOS A communication tool that takes one step more and welcome phone calls Something that completes the instant messaging service to style WhatsApp that already offered this application.But these are not the only novelties that have reached Hangouts for iPhone
This is version 1.3.0 of Hangouts on the operating system iOS A new version that stands out for the introduction of phone calls, something that comes hand in hand with Google Voice This is a telephone service that allows you to make phone calls to anywhere on the planet to a really low cost Something like what you've been doing Skype and your credits. In this way, it is now possible to enter the user data of Google Voice to make and receive calls through Hangouts
The negative point in this new function is that, despite the fact that the Spanish user can already use this service, they have to pay for it 0, 02 dollars the minute to fixed numbers, or 0, 15 if they are mobile numbersThis is a far cry from what is offered in the United States and Canada, where after this update making calls with this service is completely free But there are other interesting issues to comment on in this new version.
Along with the new call service Google has also improved the messages of Hangouts In this way, users can now send and receive GIF files Images animatedthat are played in the conversation itself, enjoying their movement without having to access or download them. Something similar to what Facebook already allows and that gives a touch of color to conversations and instant messages.
A signal system has also been introduced to know which users are available and connected in the conversation.Just scroll to the right, to the contacts screen and see in their profile picture if they have a green or gray bubble, the first being the indication that you are available or at least connected to Hangouts Something that users of this application had been asking for a long time to remove the states of the old GTalk which has replaced Hangouts
Finally, Hangouts now doesn't stop playing music when a notification or message is received. Just temporarily reduce the sound so as not to interrupt the music. A subtle issue but one that will please many users.
In short, a curious update that brings important new features to this communication application. However, it also stands out for introducing Google Voice first on iPhone and iPad, even before Android A service that will have to be seen if it manages to succeed in Spain At the moment it is already possible to download the version 1.3.0 of Hangouts for iOS via App Store It's completely Free
