Google has announced plans to shuffle around its products yet again, this time focusing on Duo and Meet. The two products will soon be merged into one.mostly.
By now, it’s probably no longer surprising to hear that Google is retiring a product or service. Though the company doesn’t flip the switch instantly and instead tries to make these transitions as smooth and non-disruptive as possible, they still often lead to a bit of confusion and apprehension, especially when products are merged. It seems Google will be doing this yet again, and this time it could eclipse the shutdown of Google Play Music because of the number of users who will be affected: Duo and Meet will be merged, Google has announced. The company promises the unification of Duo and Meet will be painless and will result in a single video chat solution once and for all. or at least until it launches its next big thing. Duo and Meet couldn’t be more different, standing on opposite ends of the video chat spectrum as far as purpose is concerned. Google Duo values simplicity and direct calls, allowing users to simply pick a contact from the phone book and dial them, just like with a conventional voice call.
