Google Duo updated to version 2.0 on iOS and Android

Despite its status, Google has failed on many occasions in the social networking space. Those with strong memories may recall Photovine, the Big G's Instagram incarnate that seemed to disappear as quickly as it arrived back in 2011. Then, of course, there's Hangouts, which has apparently realigned its focus to enterprise in light of Duo and Allo. Sure, it'd be harsh to label Hangouts as an out-and-out flop, but by Google standards, one cannot deem it as a success story. 

Though Duo, as a service, doesn't bring anything wildly new or different to the table, it does provide a simple user interface that works across the two major mobile platforms. Like many of its contemporaries, Duo expected to include support for audio-only calls in the near future, though this recent update does not include said feature.
