Transferring your personal Google Voice number to a Google Workspace business account just got easier

What’s changing 

We know it’s important for our users to continue maintaining an established phone number and ensure that this number stays associated with them as they move to a Google Workspace business account. For example, a solopreneur with a Voice number might need to carry their number with them to a Workspace domain as their business grows. 

To solve for this, we’re pleased to introduce a significantly improved experience for transferring a personal Google Voice number to a Google Workspace account. When using Google Voice on the web, you can go directly to “Account Settings” and then to the "Transfer your number to another Voice account" section. Here, you can enter the Voice number you’d like to transfer and the Google Workspace email address it should now be associated with. Once submitted, your admin can accept the transfer.

Announcing v19 of the Google Ads API

Today, we’re announcing the v19 release of the Google Ads API. To use some of the v19 features, you will need to upgrade your client libraries and client code. The updated client libraries and code examples will be published next week.

Here are the highlights:
  • Added support automatically generating enhanced video assets for Performance Max campaigns.
  • Removed all feed-related entities from the Google Ads API like Feed, FeedMapping, FeedService, AdGroupFeed, feed_placeholder_view. Users should now use assets to achieve the same purpose.
  • Demand Gen ads now support 9:16 portrait image assets. Use DemandGenMultiAssetAdInfo.tall_portrait_marketing_images to include these assets in your ads.
  • Added more methods to DataLinkService for updating and removing previously created DataLink for YouTube.
  • ValueRuleItineraryAdvanceBookingWindow now supports targeting for travel searches that take place today.
  • Removed support for VIDEO_OUTSTREAM.
  • (For allowlisted accounts only) Updates to brand guidelines
    • Brand guidelines can now be enabled for Performance Max campaigns during campaign creation. We also added a new CampaignService.EnablePMaxBrandGuidelines which allows you to enable brand guidelines for existing Performance Max campaigns.
    • You can set the brand guidelines’ details such as font family and colors using Campaign.brand_guidelines.
  • (For allowlisted accounts only) Added support for message assets through Asset.business_message_asset.
