Discord incorporated voice messages into its platform, a tool that will allow users to share audio recordings with their friends, up to 20 minutes long, for the moment only from their mobile phones.

Voicemail is available on Discord for sending via DM, Group DM, and on a server with fewer than 200 members, and only on the mobile version.

The company qualifies that despite the limitation in sending, users can listen to the voice message on any device from which they have access to the platform, as detailed on its Support page.

With this novelty, users, instead of writing, will be able to record themselves with the microphone button that they will see both in direct messages and on the server. These are not sent automatically, rather the user has the option to discard or send them.

From Discord, they explain that a voice message can have a maximum extension of 20 minutes. It does not support the upload of audio files, but the user has to record himself at the moment, for now only in the mobile app.

Google announced that it has shut down its cross-platform instant messaging service Hangouts and that users can use Google Chat, a business communication app, instead.

The Mountain View company announced the closure of Hangouts in October 2020 and, months later, set a deadline of November 1, the day it would no longer be available permanently.

As a replacement for this application, which stopped working in early July on some iOS and Android devices, it announced the Chat tool, available from Gmail or through the Play Store.

Until now, Hangouts remained available in its web version, since it ceased to be operational on Android in early September. However, this service is not available in this other version since this Thursday according to the Google support page. From now on, Hangouts will be upgraded to Google Chat.

This website also indicates that users will be able to continue using Google Takeout, which allows content to be downloaded and migrated to other platforms (including Google Chat), until January 1, 2023.

Google Chat and Google Hangouts do not have the same functions, as indicated by the company, detailing which ones correspond to each one. Thus, he indicated that neither the stickers nor the Hangouts Chrome extension will be available in Chat.

WhatsApp is developing a feature that will allow companies to assign conversations to specific linked devices with the aim of offering new management alternatives for organizations.

Specialized media had anticipated that the company was working on implementing the function in its application for companies, which included a new design and a subscription plan to expand the number of devices that can be used in the same account.

Then, the portal indicated that this multi-device mode, which supports up to four devices connected to the account, could be extended to ten devices with a subscription that was under development for WhatsApp Business.

In this sense, the company has a new functionality under development, which will be free and exclusive for all business accounts.

This will allow you to select conversations and associate them with a specific device linked to the company’s WhatsApp account. In this way, if an organization takes advantage of the multi-device function, it will be able to individually manage the communications that are made from each smartphone.

As indicated by several websites, through a screenshot, the application will notify users to inform them that the new feature is available in their business account.

The Hangouts messaging application will cease to be operational in November, thus completing Google’s plans to migrate all users and their conversations to the Chat tool.

Starting this week, users of the Hangouts mobile app will see a message urging them to switch to Chat, either the mobile version or the integrated version of Gmail. This notification will also be shown to users of the Chrome extension, who will need to use Chat for the web or the Chat app itself.

This is the latest stretch of Google’s plans to retire Hangouts in favor of Chat. As he explains on his official blog, users still using Hangouts in Gmail will automatically switch to Chat in Gmail, and those accessing Hangouts for the web will have until the end of the year to migrate to Chat for the web.

To facilitate the transition from one application to another, Google began the migration from Hangouts to Chats in 2021, allowing the transfer of conversations, contacts and history, something that can be done with the help of Takeout, the data download tool of the company.

However, this transfer process will be available until November, when Hangouts will no longer be available, as indicated by the company.

The new function of the instant messaging social network will be available for Android and iOS operating systems, and users from the web will also be able to pin some chats to the top. Although the operation will be different for each application.

• For the web. When you need to use the function from the web, it is necessary to “click on messages”, once in the section, the user will select the important conversations and then move the “cursor over it until the three dots appear in the upper right corner”, clicking on those three points and select the option “pin conversation”.
• iOS and Android. It is necessary to go to the messages and touch the letter-shaped icon in the lower right corner. Then it is necessary to slide the messages to the right to see the pin icon or simply press for a few seconds the conversation and “select the option to pin a message.”

Google has unveiled a new integrated view design for its Gmail email service, making it easier to access other tools. It will be launched from February and will gradually extend until the end of the second quarter, when it will be mandatory for all users.

The new integrated design of Gmail provides unified access from the mail service also to Workspace services such as Meet video calls and Chat messaging, as reported by Google in a statement.

This integrated view means that users don’t have to switch tabs or open a new window in Gmail when they want to join meetings or search for important conversations.

The American company has shared its plans for the launch of the new unified view of Gmail, which will begin on February 8, when users who wish to can start testing the design if they accept a notification that will appear in their emails.

Details of the new view of Gmail

Among its features, it has bubbles for notifications. Entering Google Chat shows a complete list of conversations and Spaces from a single screen. It also lets you see your mail inbox and labels from the main Gmail screen.

This design will continue to be developed in the coming months. Google plans to make it possible to search Chat conversations from the inbox search bar, something that until now required opening Chat.

In April, all users will begin to receive the new design by default in the mail service, although they will be able to return to the previous one through the Gmail settings. But by the end of the second quarter the new integrated view will become the standard Gmail experience and users will no longer be able to go back to the old one. At that time, chats will also be searchable from the inbox bar.
