Google Duo Released Worldwide

Uk when?

>we want snapchat WhatsApp and facetime users.

I remember being a kid in 2001 and thinking how cool it would be to have a device in your hand and talk to someone on it

We're living in the future now laddies

It could be the very best videoconferencing system in the entire world. But if my mom won't use it, its worthless.

>>56104399
Literally no one asked for this. Other apps already fulfill these functions flawlessly without requiring me to be a part of a botnet. No one will use this shit. Fuck off with your Google+ 2.0 you filthy kikes.

>>56105043
Who cares we will install it at a stock application on Android. You can't change that. :-*

Truth!

Also checked!

Why would anyone use this instead of Facebook video calls when everyone you know is already on Facebook?

>>56105463
No one I know is no facebook.

>needing to swipe up

whats the point

>>56105495
Until you swipe up, there's no video from you.

>>56105285
I assume it'll be like WhatsApp.

Tied to your number but if you swap sims it doesn't recognize the difference. Only when reinstalling app/factory reset

I run microG, will it work?

Can you explain this further please?

>>56106830
Basically the moment you have your number in, it doesn't matter if your number is even working or not,pretty much could do it anywhere.

Facebook Messenger is the best though, although one of my friends doesn't have Facebook, so in one chat for me it's Skype

>>56107020
Messenger uses obscene battery though, same with the main Facebook app

>No Google bullshit

>>56108536
Not that guy, but how do you keep your phone usable? I've considered making a fake account and using Raccoon on it (on my computer), then pushing APKs to the phone so I can continue using modern apps.

>Video already reproducing before answering the call
Oh boy I foresee some nice data raping

>>56108561
Depends on what you mean by "useable" I guess. I don't really do much on it. Most of my stuff I can get from F-Droid (Telegram, K-9, etc.) or direct from the developer (Poweramp, Dashchan, etc.)

That said, Raccoon looks nice. I might try it out if I ever need something off the Play Store.

>Hangouts (Replaces Google Talk)
>Google Messenger
>Google Duo

What's the deal? Why not merge everything into one app?

>>56108791
Yeah, it was a weird word choice (I'm ESL)..but I mean, using F-Droid and other alternative markets limits the "usability" of your phone. You're kinda missing out on the whatever decent apps are on the Play Store, and you don't get WebView updates as well.

I'm right now using microG with BlankStore, but I'm gonna eventually make the jump of not using anything Google-related on my phone, and that's when Raccoon is gonna play a big role.

>>56108877
Do any of these do regular audio only calls?

>>56105411
It's on Android tho

>>56108898
Word choice is fine, mate. I'm just saying that everyone uses their device a little differently. I basically only use it for work shit and music, so I don't bog it down with any bullshit apps. If I cared enough, I could probably just get by using Firefox for everything and free up a bit more space for music, but what I have now works fine for me.

>>56105411
But people in shitty third world countries have better data plans than the US

>>56108877

>>56110101
Yes, it's based on your phone number and Google has made both an Android and iOS version.

>>56108877
google have so many diff departments and they are all decentralized that they keep making similar looking products.
Maybe they should use these apps to communicate among their departments to make sure no one is producing duplicate products.

Still trying to break into social Google? Fucking hell just buy snapchat already.

I just had my first Duo video chat. it's smooth and seems to work well, but then so did Wave. lots of problems with the launch/targeting seem to really hamstring it.

being a butthurt faggot about not being able to send people livestreams of your dick is a /b/tard thing. you might be new here, but protip: none of the boards on 4chan like /b/. it's a shithole. you come off as a shithole teenager whose desperation for attention has led to you trying to be ~2 edgy 4 every1~ but nobody here is amused.

>>56113456
I do, but it's concept kinda backfires when you use it to talk to a single person. the scalability is good, but it acts weird.
who even thought back then that treating every single call as a videoconference was a good idea

>>56108955
hangouts does. I agree with him though. Hangouts works completely fine and if people would just switch to it (or even whatsapp i don't really care) then everyone could be happy together. Instead isheep use their precious imessage cause they don't even understand anything besides blue bubbles = good.

Much more interested in Allo

>>56111630
As a huge nexus and google fan, this is exactly what will happen. And don't forget no desktop app for allo, no google voice integration (most likely) and i'm sure there will be more buttfuckery than that.

Why the fuck won't Google roll Voice, Hangouts, Messenger, Allo, and Duo into a single fucking app? Why do they keep fucking fragmenting?

>>56113494
If they kill hangouts I'm literally done with google. I'll switch to cyanogen and switch to signal for messaging.

>>56113751
Because their AI told them that Hangouts would never catch on.

>>56113768
What about Google Now and Maps D:

There aren't really any replacements for that.

>>56111351
sending dick pics or dick streams is juvenile /b/tard shit. whether you're sending one of your own or one from the collection of dick pics you supposedly only store for trolling other people, you're still being a faggot /b/tard.

>>56113751
probably to avoid Duo or Allo or whatever else getting bogged down by a failing other app.

it seems like an extremely weak move for them to make a bet like this. they're basically saying that they expect one of these to be bad. like show-stoppingly bad. so bad that if it were rolled in with the rest of these apps people might stop using it).

it's basically systematized "throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks", which is fine if you're a startup pivoting every other week, but google - or ~alphabet~ - should have the resources necessary to do user studies, needfinding, etc... to avoid this kind of haphazard shit.

>>56113845
Use your Google Voice number.

Guys, you're forgetting what makes Allo truly revolutionary. SHOUT and wisper. have you ever seen different font sizes so ingrained into a messaging app? This shit is on par with VR. Having a conversation on Allo must be like being face to face with a person. Because you can shout. and whisper.

What the hell is the matter with Google? Why do they always destroy their own products?

>Google tries to cannibalize that by forcing everyone to Google+ chats, which doesn't work, only some people migrate
>Google then tries to migrate everyone to Google Hangouts, which doesn't work, only some people migrate
>Google tries to cannibalize Hangouts into two separate apps, Duo and Allo
They had a good thing going but they keep fucking up. Who's behind this? Duo could easily just be an update to Hangouts, and so could Allo. The worst part is that they're still keeping Hangouts alive, so nobody knows if Duo/Allo "is the new Hangouts", or whether it's just a side project that will inevitably get abandoned like other Google sideprojects when developers get bored with it.

Google had a huge amount of consumers with GMail, but they failed to capitalize on that well and now Twitter/Facebook/Apple ate their lunch. Chat services rely entirely on network effect and now Google lost that because they don't know how to manage their shit right.

>>56105411

>>56116893
the gtalk windows app was great, so sad when google killed it.

>>56117585
The worst part is the tend to destroy competing products when they move into a market. When they came out with their RSS reader, everybody dropped everything else, and then they suddenly killed it off and there wasn't any other product around that could pick up after them. I mean, RSS is close to dead now anyway, which is a shame and I have no idea if any of that is Google's fault, but I wish they wouldn't do this shit. It's just stupid. At this point, more businesses use Skype or Facebook for teleconferencing than will ever use whatever internally competing and incompatible products Google is going to offer.
