Google releases New Google Voice App for iPad and iPod Touch
Posted by unlocker on Thursday Dec 23, 2010 Under NewsGoogle proudly released a newer version of Google Voice App for iPod Touch and iPad and includes some significant improvements that add beauty and function in the application. Google released the version of Google Voice Application for iPhone last month. Now, iPad and iPod Touch users will be able to send and receive text messages. Users cannot make calls with the iOS application; however, Google Voice application comes with a feature called Click2Call to allow iPad and iPod Touch users to make Google voice calls through their devices.
The product manager of Google, Marcus Foster, explains how the feature Click2Call feature works. He said, “Simply click any ‘Call’ button in the Google Voice app on your iPod or iPad and then select which of your phones you want to ring. Google Voice will call your phone and then connect your call.”
Some of the improvements in the newer version of the Google Voice Application are:
When you enable Push Notifications, we will automatically disable Text forwarding for you, so you won’t receive multiple notifications.
Want some quiet time? You can send all callers straight to voicemail by turning on Do not disturb in the Settings tab.
We made it easier for you to place calls from the address book by adding a dedicated Contacts button to the Dialer tab.
Sending text messages is now more streamlined since you don’t need to press the OK button anymore.
Bonus Tip: Tap and hold messages in your inbox to archive or delete them.
You can simply download the official Google Voice application for free from the App Store.
