Google integrates all of your messaging applications into one computer

One of the most frequent jokes in the field I work on refers to the extreme frequency when Google launches messaging apps sooner rather than later.

Over the years we have seen many web applications and services born and dying. Some are kept longer but have changed names many times in their lives.

Today we seem to be experiencing a change that, although very subtle, may lead to future mergers of applications and services, even though Google has not confirmed this.

All Google messaging apps under the same command

As reported by The Verge, Javier Soltero She has been promoted from G Suite Manager (which includes apps such as Google Meet and Google Chat) to a new role where she will also be responsible for Messaging, Duo and Android Phone apps.

It's basically what Google did to put all its messaging apps under the same team, led by Single.

Right now there won't be a single app

The first thing we thought was that Google would have the intention to integrate all its messaging systems using a single service, but Javier has issued this rule, at least for now. According to the head of the new party «people make decisions about the products they use for specific purposes

In the same vein, think Hiroshi Lockheimer, Google's Senior Vice President and responsible for areas like Aandroid, Chrome, Chrome OS, Play and many more. According to a senior official «It is not a bad thing that there are many communication applications if they have a different purpose«. According to him, «What might be confusing, ironic, is our history around certain media products being moved from one place to another. But now we are moving forward, in a more united way

Most likely they are right, but few would be happy to see a strong platform that was more like Telegrams or Facebook has it than the current Google ecosystem.
