As video calling is the latest way to communicate, one can expect the tech giant Google to take on a lead in this medium as well, as it released its video chat app called ‘Google Duo.’
The newly released app is simply made for one purpose i.e. video calling, available on both iOS and Android, you will not find any features of video filters, group chats, texting, or GIFs on it. Going in line with Google mission with the app i.e. “takes the complexity out of video calling, so that you can be together in the moment wherever you are,” the company said in a blog.
However, not all is simple and clean, as it adds a special feature called Knock Knock, the feature “lets you see live video of your caller before you answer, giving you a sense of what they’re up to and why they want to chat,” a kind of face-based caller ID.
“Knock Knock makes video calling more spontaneous and welcoming, helping you connect with the person before you even pick up.”
Now, how to get it, all one need is his/her phone number, the good thing is the feature works on both Android and iOS smartphone and you’ll be able to reach people in your SIM contacts list and then sends you a confirmation text. The good news is no separate account is required, and that’s the whole process. “From there, you can instantly begin a video call with a single tap.”
