The arrival of all the news from Google, recently presented, will bring big changes to the Android ecosystem.
The first may be coming very soon and pass by the change of the messaging client on Android, that is no longer the Hangout and passes the Duo.
it Was in the last I/O Google showed the world his two new applications dedicated to the communication between the users. The Duo is dedicated to the video-call and the Allo to the text messages, with some artificial intelligence to the mix.
according To an email sent by Google to all its partners, it was revealed that from December the Duo happens to be the application that will be part of the installed products with the Android and the Hangouts will be optional.
Today, we are announcing that Google Duo will replace Hangouts within the suite of core GMS apps, and Hangouts will become GMS Optional for telephony products. This change will take effect on December 1, 2016
Not being applications with similar purposes, since the Duo is dedicated to the video and Hangouts, the video and the messages, is not noticeable the intention of this change on Google’s part. It would be more logical to exchange for the application Allo, but may reveal a shift from Google to a focus in video communication.
The future of Hangouts, and the Duo
To get this place featured on Android, the Duo will grow and show to the users as the tool to be used for communication, thereby combating your competition.
As for the Hangouts, then Google will try to salvage it and make it a business tool, a time that concentrates on a single point the two forms of communication are used the most and has the potential to be used as a form of cooperative work.
The Duo has gained more users, having already surpassed the mark of 10 million installations on the Play Store, and with this promotion, the main application on Android you’ll be able to even greater visibility and use.
