New Messages for Web features are rolling out to Google Fi users - Android Police

With Hangouts on its way out, Google Fi users might have been wondering how they would access their messages on the web.

We learned from a teardown back in May that Messages for Web would be getting Google Fi-specific features, and it looks like this new experience is now rolling out.

According to our tipster, a new "Google Fi settings" item appeared in the advanced section of the settings in the Messages Android app (see screenshots).

This allows you to sign into your Fi account so it can sync texts, calls, and voicemail with the Messages desktop app.

With Fi sync activated, you'll be able to make calls and send texts from Messages for Web, even when your phone is switched off.

After settings up Fi sync and heading to Messages for Web, you'll notice the UI has changed somewhat.

There's a Google Fi logo in the top left and a vertical navigation rail on the left side for moving between messages, calls, and voicemail.
