  • Google Voice is now available in Gmail for G Suit members

    Google Voice is now available in Gmail for G Suit members

    Google is making things easier for G Suit subscribers who use Google Voice. The company is rolling out an update that integrates the voice call service into Gmail, letting users make and receive calls without the need to switch tabs.

    Google announced the new feature on its official blog, adding a nifty little GIF image, showing the integration in action. G Suit users will get a similar panel to the one they’re used to in other Google Voice iterations. The new feature appears in desktop browser versions of Gmail, but there are new functionalities in the mobile app as well.

    You can now transfer calls to a suggested contact or manually added number in a few steps. Call transferring is available in Voice on Android, iOS, and the web. Google is already rolling out the call transfer option and will start adding Google Voice to Gmail in the following days.

  • Google Hangouts transition for G Suite gets delayed until 2020

    Google Hangouts transition for G Suite gets delayed until 2020

    Google confirmed back in December that it will replace Hangouts with Chat and Meet, and announced that the transition will start in October 2019. However, the search giant revealed that the transition for G Suite has been postponed and that the new deadline is June 2020.

    According to Google, the decision to delay the move is based on the feedback received from many Hangouts users, who apparently need more time to migrate their organizations from classic Hangouts to the new Hangouts Chat.

    That being said, Google has officially postponed the final transition date to no sooner than June 2020, which means that it could happen later, but definitely not sooner. In the meantime, Google will continue to improve the transition experience of classic Hangouts group conversations, and add new Chat features like Read receipts.

    In case you need a more definitive date, Google said that it will provide advance notice once it figures out when it’s the right time to start the final transition of classic Hangouts to Hangouts Chat.

    Also, for those who want to migrate sooner, Google has already kicked off the Accelerated Transition Program, so simply request an invitation and the classic Hangouts will be disabled and you’ll be migrated to Hangouts Chat.

  • Gmail Smart Compose feature rolling out to G Suite users

    Gmail Smart Compose feature rolling out to G Suite users

    One year after it revealed the Smart Compose feature for Gmail, Google is finally making it available to G Suite users. Since most of you have been probably using the feature for a few months now, you already know that it’s been pushed out to consumer accounts first.

    If you haven’t yet used Smart Compose, then you’ll want to know that the new feature is meant to intelligently autocomplete emails that you write, on both Android and iOS devices. According to Google, Smart Compose is being deployed to iOS users over the next two weeks, while Android users will be getting the new feature immediately.

    It’s also worth mentioning that Smart Compose will be enabled by default for all G Suite users, but you will be able to turn it off if you don’t like it by heading to Gmail’s general settings and disabling the Writing suggestions option from Smart Compose.

    If you didn’t know, Smart Compose supports a handful of languages, such as English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese, so there’s really a large pool of Gmail users that will benefit from the new feature.
