Google Voice for Android finally gets ability to send multiple images in one message

Google Voice users on Android have something to cheer about — the long-awaited ability to send multiple images in a single message is finally here. After watching iOS users enjoy this feature, Android users can now join the party with this convenient update.

The buzz began about two weeks ago when a keen-eyed Reddit user spotted the change and shared the news on the Google Voice subreddit. Even though the images appear to be sent sequentially rather than all at once, the ability to select and queue multiple images is a huge step forward for Android users.

Fast forward to just a few days ago, another user shared screenshots showcasing the feature in action. Using Gboard, they demonstrated how two emoji stickers could be queued and sent back-to-back. The screenshots revealed the slick new interface that makes it easier to attach and send media, streamlining the messaging experience.

This development brings Android users up to speed with their iOS counterparts, who’ve had this functionality for a while. A Google Voice product expert chimed in to confirm that the feature is indeed rolling out to Android devices, marking a moment of parity between the two platforms.

The update reflects Google’s renewed commitment to enhancing the Google Voice app, even as some feared it might be fading into obscurity. Adding such basic yet essential features is a welcome sign that the app is alive and well. And as the product expert said, “Google has no plans to discontinue consumer Google Voice, so enjoy.”

For those who love communicating with visuals, this update is a game changer. Whether it’s sharing photos, stickers, or other media, Google Voice on Android is now more equipped to handle your creative messaging needs.

So, if you haven’t already, update your Google Voice app and give it a spin. The next time you want to brighten someone’s day with a series of fun images, you’ll find the process easier and more enjoyable than ever.
