Later, Google is planning to replace Duo with Meet. Duo to be phased out after only being on the market for a few years (Duo launched in 2016.) Its rumored demise has reportedly come as a surprise to the Duo team themselves, according to 9to5Google.

Also, it will see some of Duo’s features integrated into Meet, including end-to-end encryption, 3D effects, and contacting users for a video via phone number.

Meet integrated into Gmail and has received a number of features as Google looks to compete with Zoom. With a reported growth of 3 million users each day in April, it’s clear that Meet has a chance at becoming the market leader for video conferencing.

Unfortunately, its popularity may come at the expense of Duo, which means we’ll soon add Duo to the heap of other canceled Google services, which these days is a long.
