Its been in the rumor mill for a long time, and to some extent has already begun, but now its official, Google have integrated Google Voice into Hangouts, allowing you to access Google Voice messages and voicemail inside Google’s popular messaging app. While the integration is in its earliest stages, it is nice to see Google consolidating the popular services.
There are still kinks that need to be ironed out, for instance messages sent to your Voice account appear in Hangouts, but replies remain stuck and never completely go through. Additionally there are no options yet to reply with your Google Voice number or your personal number, but an upcoming update is sure to address these issues. Be aware that by enabling Voice integration within Hangouts, you will no longer receive messages in the native Voice application. The Voice website and Chrome extension will also be updated to reflect these changes.
To start using Hangouts with Google Voice today, simply open the app and when prompted, enable integration. No update is needed, although it is safe to assume Google will push an update to iron out the bugs that are currently present. Let us know in the comments below how the integration is working out for you so far.
