Google Duo was announced at Google's developer conference on May 18, 2016, and began its worldwide release on August 16, 2016. Duo could be used either with a phone number or a Google account, allowing users to call someone from their contact list.
It let users make and receive one-to-one and group audio and video calls with other Duo users in high definition, using end-to-end encryption by default. The different versions may indicate that the Duo logo will appear in different places throughout the app.Google Duo was a proprietary voice over IP (VoIP) and videotelephony service developed by Google, available for Android, iOS and web browsers. Looking through the Samsung Messages app’s assets, we even find both monochrome and full-color versions of Google Duo’s logo and a similar logo signaling an audio-only Duo call. In the strings, we found a direct mention of being able to call someone using either Google Duo or your phone’s default video calling app. While many of the details are still unclear as to how such an integration would work, we took a closer look at the latest version of the Samsung Messages app for signs of any Google Duo integration.
This week, The Korea Herald has reported, via Android Authority, that Samsung is in talks with Google and Korean carrier SK Telecom to create a video chat service powered by Google Duo that enhances RCS messaging. When using the Google Messages app, the default SMS and RCS app of Pixel and Android One phones, if the person you’re messaging has Google Duo, you’ll have a handy button to jump right into a Duo video call with that person. We’ll try to enable those that are closer to being finished, however, to show you how they’ll look in case they do ship. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ever ship these features, and our interpretation of what they are may be imperfect. When we decompile these files (called APKs, in the case of Android apps), we’re able to see various lines of code within that hint at possible future features. We’ve uncovered evidence that Samsung is working on integrating Google Duo directly into the Samsung Messages app for Galaxy devices.Ībout APK Insight: In this “APK Insight” post, we’ve decompiled the latest version of an application that Google uploaded to the Play Store.
Without a doubt, the best video calling app on Android, and one of the closest competitors to Apple’s FaceTime, is Google Duo.
