Google has just presented the redesign of its Google Voice application. The update has arrived first for iOS users and the truth is which brings some interesting news. For starters, the icon has been redesigned, which hasn't been changed for quite some time.
It looked a bit orthopedic, so while this is a minor character change, we can't help but be glad Google considered it. Actually, you will see that it is a icon very similar to the one in Hangouts, following the trail of the new colors and designs that Google has been using for some time for its products.
The next feature to point out also has to do with design, but more specifically, with the design of the interior of the application. Although there aren't any significant changes, we can appreciate the addition of a new tab, which is located at the bottom of the application. This is a tab that has been named Contacts. It is evident that in the case of an application that is used to make calls and send messages to contacts, the integration of this section makes all the sense in the world.
The Do Not Disturb mode is here as a novelty
Another novelty that comes to this version and that probably does have greater relevance, is the incorporation of a new Do Not Disturb mode This feature will work in conjunction with Google Calendar and will come in handy if you have all your events and agenda scheduled in Google Calendar.
In this way, you will not be disturbed during the hours when you are either meeting or working. This feature is added to the option that is already available to the user to ignore calls, but must be activated manually each time you need to activate or deactivate the option.
Users who want to enjoy these three novelties can do so simply by downloading Google Voice for iOS on their iPhone or iPad. Or, if you already have this app installed, updating the version you have available from the App Store.
It should be noted that some Android users have seen these features, but at the moment, there is no evidence that the update is coming to everyone. We'll keep waiting, but it should go live shortly.
