Google Chat and phone calls have arrived

Google has introduced some upcoming features for Google Chat on gmail a few months ago, but did not say when exactly they will be available to the general public.

With less than a month to go until the end of the year, Google has revealed that the ability to call someone directly using Google Chat in Gmail is now available on mobile devices.google chat

Just select the phone or video icon in the top right corner of a 1:1 chat to call someone directly. Keep in mind, however, that the "Participation in ” from the Google Chat app redirects to the Gmail app, as that's where the call will take place.

To join a call, select the phone or video in the 1: 1 conversation. You will see a banner of the person you are chatting with during a call. Also, the duration of the call and a Meet icon will be visible on the chat roster. Finally, the red phone or video icon and the chat roster are used for missed calls.

The new feature is available by default on Android and iOS devices, but you will need to install the latest version of Gmail. According to Google, the Gmail update is already available to Android and iOS users, but it will take about two weeks for it to reach everyone.
