Google Fi Adds AI Audio, RCS, Wi‑Fi Upgrades

Google Fi will roll out AI-enhanced audio in November to reduce background noise and boost voice clarity — including when the person you’re speaking to is on a landline or older device — with an option to disable the feature. In December, Messages for Web/Fi will get a refreshed web UI with full RCS support so users can send high-resolution photos and videos and place calls and texts from a browser. Fi is expanding Wi‑Fi Auto Connect+ to millions (potentially tens of millions) of locations, including major airports such as LAX, ORD and JFK, automatically securing connections with encryption/VPN on compatible devices at no extra cost. The service is also adding HD/HD+ calling support and integrating Gemini-powered AI into the Fi app to generate billing summaries, explain charges, and model how plan changes affect future costs. Google is backing the rollout with a limited-time promotion of 50% off for 15 months for new subscribers who bring their own phone.
