To say that Google is not specific for messaging apps would be an understatement. The story started with Google Talk, and since then, many changes, edits, changes of names and concept changes have taken place. One of Google's messaging app efforts has not yet arrived, but at least they will all be under one group
Javier Soltero, VP and GM of G Suite (including Google Meet and Google Chat) is in charge of two other messaging apps: Messages and Duo. They live like this all Google messages and communication apps under one computerWhile that doesn't mean the apps will be compiled soon.
No plans to integrate apps, yet
Therefore, all company messaging efforts are focused on the same team, despite this it does not mean that applications will be integrated
This idea was shared by Hiroshi Lockheimer, who also cited the publication as "not too bad that there are many communication applications if they have a different purpose, "while acknowledging that they may confuse users" with their history of moving apps from one place to another. "
This grouping is the same as it did in 2017 with the Google Play Music and YouTube Music groups. After three years, the company has been slowly adjusting the soil YouTube Music replace Play Music, but today both services and use are still different. At the moment, it looks like that will happen with messaging applications. At least, until the next time Google changes its mind.
