Google Hangouts adds iOS CallKit to make & receive calls from Apple’s built-in phone app
– Jun. 2nd two thousand seventeen Five:08 pm PT
Google has updated its Hangouts messaging and voice calling app with support for Apple’s CallKit, the iOS ten feature that enables VoIP services to use the iPhone’s built-in dialer and phone app to both make and receive calls.
Once the fresh feature is enabled within Hangouts, users can initiate phone calls using the iPhone’s built-in Phone app or with Siri voice instructions, and also receive incoming calls form Hangouts using the stock iOS call UI.
The best 4K & 5K displays for Mac
You can enable CallKit support for Hangouts while navigating to Settings within the app and switch the toggle for “Answer on lock screen.” That will make it so incoming calls show up on your iPhone with the same UI and overall functionality of a regular cellular call on your phone. For outbound calls, users will be able to select Hangouts for numbers they calling from within the phone app’s contacts, favorites, and recents.
Also arriving in today’s Hangouts update, version 16, are a duo of fixes for issues related to photo pinch zoom in preview and crashing movie calls.
The updated Hangouts app is available on the App Store now.
What's Fresh in Version 16.0.0
• Users can now receive incoming calls and make outgoing calls using the system-provided phone app. To enable / disable this feature, go to Settings and toggle Reaction on lock screen. • Immovable photo pinch zoom in preview. • Immobile movie calling crashes.
