Now that Google Chat is trying to clean up the mess that Hangouts left, we learned that it would begin by killing off support for Google Fi users to text, call and check voicemail through the Hangouts app itself.

Back in May of this year, Android Police did a teardown of the Google Messages app for Android and found that it was preparing to offer Fi support for those missing features so that Fi users wouldn’t be without a home.

Today, Android Police also reported that the web component for Google Messages has started rolling out that same integration to a few users.

Nick Cipriani and Anthony Maki found Google Fi synchronization options tucked away in the advanced settings of the Google Messages app.

We’re unsure of when everyone using Fi will receive this update, but it may just be a matter of time since January marks the official death of Fi integration in Hangouts and when users will be transitioned to Google Messages entirely.
