    Great for Cross-Platform Communications

    Date: Aug 09 2021

    Summary: Overall, Google Duo is a good program for keeping in touch with others who do not have the same brand of phone that you do.

    Positive: I use all Apple products, but others in my family use Android and Chromebook. We are able to use Google Duo to have voice chats and send text messages to keep in touch throughout the day.

    Negative: The only con would be that it's owned by Google who has a history of using my data and tracking it.

    Best for informal video calls

    Date: Dec 11 2020

    Summary: It's a great app as it's useful for Android and iPhone users, you can use it in Windows as well. It's good for having a fun time and good conversation on video calling with your family and friends with multiple effects.

    Positive: Google Duo app is an amazing app for android phone users because just like iPhone Facetime facility, it's helpful for android users and iPhone users both. It facilitates face to face video calling. Also, it is amazing to save our digital moments as it gives the facility of taking photos between video call. You can use different face filters during video calling.

    Negative: It doesn't support well with more than 2 people during a video call. It is not secure as no security is provided about screen recording. It works well only on high-speed internet connection. It works only with phone number if you aren't interested in sharing phone no. Then it's not for you.
