Google makes use of AI-generated automated replies on most of its compatible apps. The latest app to receive the smart reply suggestions feature is the Google Voice Android application.
Smart replies are convenient in many ways, and they show up above the “Type a message” field. It will, of course, appear in relevant conversations you are having. So, they may not load up in all existing threads.
You can use these smart replies to complete your sentences without the need to type those extra few words. The smart reply suggestions feature is generally helpful when you aren’t sure about the grammar in your sentences.
A total of three smart suggestions will be shown in pill-shaped boxes. You can tap on the appropriate suggestion and complete your sentence.
Do note that these smart suggestions only appear for outgoing messages. After you have replied, these suggestion boxes will quickly disappear.
However, there is one important thing to keep in mind when using the smart reply suggestions feature. Once you tap on a suggestion, the reply will be forwarded immediately, rather than placing the text in your reply and giving you the opportunity for additional edits.
The Smart Replies feature was spotted in the Google Voice Android app version 2022.01.24
Similar behavior of smart replies is evident on the Google Messages app as well. In Gmail, though, you have the option to edit the text after selecting the smart reply in your outgoing message.
The smart reply suggestions feature in Google Voice works fine. You can perform one or two tweaks before you can manually send the message.
As noted by 9to5Google, the smart reply suggestions feature for Google Voice is available on the Android app version 2022.01.24. The feature isn’t live for iOS or the web app. It could be beneficial for users if it arrived on the web version.
Moreover, you can now use the paid enterprise service to make calls from European Google Voice numbers to mobile and landline numbers. This feature is supported in many European countries at the cost of a Google Voice license.
If you are interested in this, then you should know that this feature is already in effect starting Tuesday, February 8. Previously, these calls were applied to domestic and international call rates.
This new change would allow customers to save money on staying connected with friends and family members across Europe. You can check the entire rate list of Google Voice across the globe using this website.
