I really would like to use Google Duo, really. What's
preventing me from doing so is that nobody around me uses it, absolutely
nobody. I live in an environment dominated by WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and
to a lesser extent, Skype. To make things worse, I've asked ten 'normal users'
about Google Duo and they had no idea what it was. And I think Google knows
about this and the company keeps trying by adding new features to Google Duo in
the hope of getting users to jump ship.
In an update that is currently rolling out, Google Duo users
will be able to leave 30-seconds video messages in case the person they're
calling does not pick up. "If the person you’re calling declines or misses
your call, you can record up to 30 seconds of a video (or voice) message. Once
you’re happy with your message, you can send it to your friend or family
member, who will receive it in the Duo app." À la Snapchat, the videos
will disappear "within a day after you first watch them." However,
Google will let you save your preferred videos to your device if you choose to.
These video messages are secure and end-to-end encrypted. No worry here if you
care about your privacy.
So that's it for this Google Duo update. Check it out in
Google Play store.
