My complaining aside, here’s the basics of what you need to know. I just don’t use Meet unless it’s work related and actually like keeping personal and work experiences separate. I would also understand why someone would want a single experience with more advanced features, rather than this two-app system of Duo and Meet. Before that happens, Google is going to add a bunch of Google Meet features into Duo, to give it “power.” In other words, gone is the simplicity of Duo and in is the integrated complexity of Meet.

Google announced today that Google Duo will be renamed to Google Meet later this year. Google is about to f*ck with that situation in the name of integration or a “single solution” that someone has been asking for. It’s also how I often call my mom or dad for quick chats between them and their grandson. We use it from phones to tablets to computers and smart displays. The simple interface that allows my wife and I to quickly call each other on any platform is the way we now communicate instead of via traditional phone call.
