The equivalent fix for the Android Google Voice app is... not needed, because it still doesn't handle MMS.

Yes, I know that Hangouts has GV integration, but it's pretty subpar. There isn't, for example, a decent Hangouts Chrome extension.




Pretty sure I've started receiving MMS messages on my google voice number. It looks like support was added around November 2014.


Indeed.

The caveat is that MMS media attachments are not accessible in either the Google Voice Android app, or the web UI. They are (IME) only delivered as attachments to the email copy of the MMS.


Have you tested it recently? I just received a picture and it shows up as expected in hangouts, which handles my GV texts now.


I haven't integrated Hangouts with Google Voice, and I never intend to. I'm still using the standalone Google Voice Android app and the web interface.


Ah, I don't think you'll be getting many new features if you don't switch over.


Yeah, I don't call that "support", though.


Why not?
