Google Duo: Now has more options for calling
In March, Google reported it was starting to take off support for Duo. Duo is Google’s app to compete with FaceTime and Whatsapp. It should be noted that the central of the app before was just video calls. At first, option for sound calls was accessible in Brazil but now the component is presently live for all customers around the world.

Google Duo aims to stick around with the audience
What we know about Google is that its strategy has never truly seemed well and based on good judgement. Rather, it regularly feels like the organization is attempting the “toss a cluster of spaghetti at the divider and see what sticks” strategy for launching its applications. Currently, Google still has its legacy Hangouts application. It has part the service into two new applications, Chat and Meet. Chat and Meet are fundamentally, the undertaking adaptations of Allo and Duo. It likewise works a recently refreshingGoogle Voice; its iMessage match, Messenger, which has been including support for RCS – an overhaul from SMS.

Gratefully, Google has been attempting to tone things down a bit, by shutting Google Talk and slaughtering a social investigation called Spaces. Duo, then, has not accomplished much footing. The app today is positioned just #225 Overall on Google Play, and #641 on iOS, as indicated by App Annie.
