Google updated its Hangouts app for iOS devices and added the ability to place free voice calls from the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch to other lines in the U.S. and Canada.
Google Voice users can also receive calls through Google Hangouts. The app also improves visibility of who’s online, makes it possible to send animated GIFs, and turns down music volume when incoming calls arrive.
Hangouts for iOS is free to download from the iTunes App Store.
