Hello there, since my account has not been confirmed I cannot upload files to wikipedia so to those who have had their account confirmed I should make you aware that the logo for Duo has changed and it now looks like this.

@ LocalNet: Take a look at WP:LEDE. The lead section is only supposed to SUMMARISE the KEY POINTS from the body and should focus on essential characteristics of the article subject. Download statistics are irrelevant to knowing what Google Duo is and how it works. Having the same longish sentence twice in such a short article makes it sound repetitive. — kashmiri TALK 20:55, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
This article fails to explain where if any payment becomes necessary. If users are contacting via WiFi, the connection should be free – but what about instances in which one or more users are using telephony to connect?
This is a fact-focused question that should help explain Google Duo's possible longevity and so of interest to any and all readers of this article, IMHO. -- Aboudaqn ( talk) 15:24, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
We should be able to recreate the screenshot on this page using Google Duo to do a video call. The screenshot would likely not contain any Google-copyrighted elements based on the fact that the current image just has two profile pictures (or video stills) in it. I'm neither photogenic nor willing to post pictures of myself here, but if anyone is willing to volunteer to make this, all you would have to do is start a video call with another person and take a screenshot.

In the main section of the page, the following is said: “...Google Duo replaced Hangouts within the suite of Google apps Android phone makers must pre-install on devices...” What concerns me is the “must”. As far as I'm aware, it is completely optional on whether an Android phone has any Google apps, of course most released in the Western world do because of the Play Store, however as far as I am aware, this is completely optional. Devices sold by Amazon as well as devices for the Chinese market lack any Google apps. Anyway, what I am asking here is if anyone has any further knowledge on this topic and whether the wording should be ammended to exclude the idea that the install of Duo is mandatory?

@ Kashmiri: I don't see how it is relevant that the merger has not been fully completed, all that matters is that it has begun (per the many sources). Google's app updates have always rolled out in a gradual way rather than on a set date, so it is expected that not all devices will immediately receive the update. Also, I don't see how this has anything to do with WP:NOTNEWS. InfiniteNexus ( talk) 00:01, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
