Google has announced several upgrades and new features to its Google Fi Wireless phone plans, including an update to web calls and messages with a new interface that now fully supports RCS messaging. With this new update, users can share high-quality photos and videos in message threads, even when their phone is not nearby. That functionality is expected to be available in early December at no extra cost.
In mid-November, Google Fi will start using Google AI to automatically filter out unwanted noises and to enhance and clarify voices on both ends of a call, even when one participant is using a landline or an aging cellphone. The filters will be applied automatically, but the feature can be turned off entirely.
Google Fi is also expanding the availability of its Wi-Fi Auto Connect Plus feature that automatically connects the user’s phone to “select secure, high quality Wi-Fi networks” to improve mobile data connection in indoor areas where cellular coverage is low.
The feature will now be available in “tens of millions of locations” across the US, including shopping malls, stores, and major airports like LAX, ORD, and JFK. It comes with no extra costs and keeps data secure using a VPN, but is only available for Pixel 5a smartphones and newer.
