Google Voice recent app change - workaround?

There are always Workarounds - that's what I like about the digital age.

Also I find it hard to send a working device to eWaste but that's another story.

For anyone else whom is a GV user and has now found their GV app does not work, there is another Google option: Hangouts or GMail apps

I have installed Hangouts for iOS8, 9 &10 devices which use the defunct GV app.

Using a computer one can turn on GV functions for Hangouts and Hangouts functions for GV.

Then one can make an receive calls and texts from anyone (such has to be turned on in the Hangouts app).

Googles site has information on using the GMail app for GV as well.

Would still like to know if there are any 3rd party apps that would work in case any one here knows.

I agree about iOS8 but also 9 & 10 are left out.

Many devices stop updating at iOS9.

The MAJOR problem is that Google has disabled the old apps, rather than just introducing a update. PLUS the Google Voice web site no longer can be accessed with a web browser on devices running the older iOS versions.

We have 4 GV accounts and 6 devices, only one has a compatible iOS. We would have to purchase 3 new(er) devices to continue use.

Hence the query as to whether anyone here uses a GV app not from Google.

Sadly I fear non Google apps like GV connect etc. will have the same problem (older versions will no longer work).

That's what I have found so far but am still looking.

Methinks a dual boot system or revert to an older MAC OS.

I reverted to Sierra & HFS from Mojave. Was only possible though because I had a clone and was willing to reformat the drive w/ Mojave.

Yes I saw the June 2020 end date mention when I was setting up Hangouts for GV.

At least I have 6 months warning unlike their abandoning the old GV app.
