Google Hangouts iOS App Gets Google Voice Integration

A huge update hit the Google Hangouts app this weekend on iOS. The messaging app received Google Voice integration with the ability to make and receive phone calls. It does include SMS, MMS or voicemail capabilities (were guessing thatll stay with only the actual Google Voice app), but those using Hangouts will be able to make phone calls right from the app.

As far as what the changelog says, Hangouts users can now see which of their friends are using Hangouts, and who can currently be reached. This update even gives iPod Touch users the ability to make and receive phone calls right from Hangouts, which are free if placed inside the US and Canada. And of course, calls placed will use your Google Voice number, and theres no need to set up the integration; itll automatically detect your Google Voice number from your Google account.
