Google Duo is a video chat mobile app developed by Google. Is Available for both Android and iOS operating systems. Apparently, it is also available to use on the Google Chrome browser on desktop and laptop computers. Google Duo has an ability to make high definition video calls which are well optimized for low-bandwidth networks.
Google Duo is based on phone numbers, allowing users to call someone from their contact list and features end to end encryption by default. With its development and version 56, users will now be able to share pictures with their friends and family.
How to Share Photos in Google Duo
