Google Duo

Google Duo is a video and audio calling app made by Google, similar to Facebook's WhatsApp, Apple's Facebook, and Microsoft's Skype. It is free to use and works across both iOS and Android devices. It uses your number, reaching people in your phone's contacts list, and offers end-to-end encryption. Its Knock Knock feature will allow you to see live video of your caller before you answer. Google Duo supports group video calls with up to 8 people for free. So it is particularly nice for small groups like families and friends to get together during the special time of coronavirus. Latest Update: Google Removed the Google Duo Icon Again Google sent out an update last weekend and it removed the icon of Google Duo from the app drawer of Android users. However, Google has already announced in June that it would merge Google Duo with Google Meet to bring the best of both apps to users. This new Google Meet/Duo update will start rolling out officially this Friday. Besides, the duo.google.com website now uses the Google Meet branding throughout the website, hinting that Duo is now gone for good.
