Google's plan to reduce its video chat and video conferencing apps to just one called 'Meet' has been delayed by complaints by users.
Google, as you might already know, planned on moving its free video chat app Duo and its Meet video conferencing app into one mobile app called Meet. The wheels were finally set in motion whenissued an update moving Meet features to the Duo app. Another update, this one with a staggered release, changed the icon and the name of the Duo app to Meet.
The original Meet app was scheduled to be removed, but until that happens, Google gave it the new name of Meet . So Android users had the Meet app and the Meet apps on their phones. We haven't seen such a fuss about the word"Meet" since"Meet the Beatles" was released in the states back in January 1964.
But as usual, when something new is introduced, some people didn't like the changes and complained to Google. So the company brought back the Duo name and icon leaving users with three apps instead of two: the Duo app , the Meet app , and the Meet app which is self-explanatory.Does Google have a rational explanation for what is going on? The company toldthat it brought back the Duo name and icon to help people who search for Duo find the app.
So what Google has done makes things as clear as the Hudson River. Eventually, there should be just one Meet app that will allow you to make video chats and create video conferences depending on your needs. The Hudson, we're afraid, will remain murky.Get the most important news, reviews and deals in mobile tech delivered straight to your inbox
