But no, it’s even worse! They are renaming Duo to Meet, even though Duo has 10x more installs than (classic) Meet.

- cesarb 4y ago> even though Duo has 10x more installs than (classic) Meet. How many of these "10x more installs" are due to Duo coming preinstalled by default on Android, which AFAIK isn't the case for Meet? A quick look at two Android phones I have nearby showed both have Duo installed (and never opened), while none have Meet.
- izacus 4y agoA lot, but being preinstalled is what makes Duo practical. It's effectively Androids' replacement for FaceTime, always there directly in the dialer. Last I checked it was quite popular in Asia.
- alephxyz 4y agoIsn't that because Duo comes installed on new Android phones but Meet doesn't? It might be that Meet has more daily users.
- abraham 4y agoMeet is installed on all Android phones as part of the Gmail app. It just doesn't have an app icon.
- Dylan16807 4y agoIf that's true then there's no way in hell Duo has 10x more installs?
- alephxyz 4y agoFair, but those don't count as downloads on the Play store.
- aeturnum 4y agoOh lol I guess that's true. I think of Duo as "one of the google apps I will never open" whereas I have meetings in Meet. I guess I figured that Meet got a pandemic bump? But when you put it that was it does indeed make even less sense.
