The application in question enables users on Apple mobile devices to make and receive calls, send text messages, and manage voicemail using a dedicated Google Voice number. This facilitates separation of personal and business communications, or allows for an additional phone number without requiring a separate physical device. For example, a business owner can use the subject application on their iPhone to handle business calls while keeping their primary phone number for personal use.
The availability of this service on the iOS platform provides a valuable tool for individuals seeking enhanced communication flexibility and control. It allows users to leverage Google Voice’s features, such as call screening, voicemail transcription, and international calling rates, directly on their existing iPhone or iPad. Historically, accessing Google Voice required web browsers or third-party applications, but the native iOS application streamlines the experience and offers a more integrated solution.
