Google's new Duo Video calling app hit 10M downloads!!!



Google Duo Video Calling App Touches 10 Million Downloads on Android

  • Google Duo was made globally available last month
  • Duo video calling app lets people call their phone contacts
  • In India, the app is ranked 24 on top charts list in Google Play


Google's month-old video calling app, Duo, has hit 10 million downloads on Google Play - and has 10 million users as well. Google Product Lead for Communication Amit Fulay announced the milestone in a tweet saying, "Google Duo is over 10M users on Android, thanks for the love."

The new video calling app just four days after its global rollout on Google Play made it to the top of the charts as top free app. The Duo app is available in all countries where Google Play is available.

Android Police points out that Duo despite hitting 10 million downloads has dropped significantly on top charts on Google Play. In the US, the app is now ranked 124  in the top free apps chart list. In India, Google Duo is however ranked 24 on the top free apps charts.

The company's brand new video calling app was launched last month to take on Apple's FaceTime, Microsoft's Skype, Viber, and others similar services. The Duo app lets  people call their phone contacts (as long as they have the app installed) and one of the biggest highlight features is it can work even on low networks.

Another notable  feature of the Duo app is 'Knock Knock,' which essentially shows preview video of the caller and lets people decide whether to answer or not. Google had previously  confirmed that the Duo video calling app uses end-to-end encryption and will be HD quality though the app will adjust it as per the available network. To recall, Google Duo was first announced at I/O developers' conference in May.
