Google Duo for the web is now available

-

Google Duo is one of the few communication apps offered by the company that people immediately responded to. It was originally released in 2016 alongside Allo, an artificial intelligence-powered messaging application, which never took off. But, Duo has shown promising results even in its first days of release. Because of that, the development team behind it have been working very hard to optimize the video and audio quality of the service, improve the interface of the application, and enhance the overall experience. The cross-platform availability of Duo also played a big role in its popularity. Google released Duo for both Android and iOS at Google I/O 2016.

We’ve known for a while that Google was working on expanding the platform support of Duo. We first got the word about the web version of the service just last month. Like promised, Google Duo is now available on the web. If you want to use the service, all you have to do is to navigate to the website and login via your Google account. The web application is as simple and intuitive as the mobile one. You are greeted by a contacts/numbers list on startup. You can initiate a voice or video call with any of them. Searching your contacts via their name or number is also possible. The interface is following the updated Material Design principles.

From what we’ve noticed, it is a wide rollout, but not all of us has the update just yet. We may have to wait a little longer until the web version of Google Duo penetrates all of the accounts/devices. Nevertheless, it is nice to see that one of the easiest and most reliable video-calling application now supports both of the major platforms: web and mobile.

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual
