After watching an extended period of time pass by with no update to Google Voice, many thought that the platform would eventually be killed off. Google said to think again, because the platform isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Many of us have been patiently waiting for this day, the day Google Voice would receive an update. And this isn’t just an update, this is a cross-platform makeover, a much-needed and long-awaited update. We caught a glimpse of the update earlier this month, and now it has come to fruition.

The update is being rolled out now to Android, iOS and web. The design has been treated to a material design overall, including neat drawers, menus and tabs everywhere you look. The conversation layout has also been modernized and redesigned, no longer featuring that old rusty look from the Android KitKat days. Additionally, voicemail transcription in Spanish has been added, as well as group and photo MMS, both of which were overdue. You’ll also notice a handful of touches and additions made throughout the interface and settings. Best of all, Google has fully revived the platform, indicating that more updates are to come in the near future.
