Google Pixel devices might get native Visual Voicemail (VVM) support soon

At present, Google Pixel devices do not have native support for Visual Voicemail, meaning that users have to rely on third-party apps or carrier services to access this feature. However, this may change soon, as a French telecommunications company, Free, has claimed that they sent a request to Google for integration and it should happen soon.

The particular tweet was posted on November 7, 2023, in response to a user who asked about the availability of Visual Voicemail on Pixel devices natively.

So it could be possible that Google is working on adding Visual Voicemail to its Pixel devices natively. This would bring them up to speed with iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones that have native support already. However, Google has not officially confirmed or announced anything about this development, so it is unclear when or how it will be implemented.

If Google does add native Visual Voicemail to Pixel devices, it would be a welcome improvement for many users who want to have a more convenient and efficient way of managing their voicemail messages. The GIF below represents the current implementation of VVM for T-Mobile customers.

For those unaware, Visual Voicemail allows users to view and manage their voicemail messages on their phone’s screen, without having to dial a number or listen to audio prompts. Visual Voicemail can also transcribe the messages into text, making it easier to read and search them.

Visual Voicemail is only available for devices active on certain plans and carriers, so users may need to check with their service provider before using it. Using the feature might also lead to additional charges or data usage, depending on the carrier and plan. That being said, the information was shared by the company’s social media handle, and information shared by a company’s social media team isn’t always 100% accurate. So I would suggest taking the information with a grain of salt.
