Mixing the contact list
The main change that has been made in Google Duo it is in your contact list. Previously differentiating between voice calls and video calls with a slider button, something that has been replaced by tabs. In this way, users see more clearly what kind of call they are going to make before selecting a contact.

The future of Duo and the unknown of Allo
In his day, Google had Hangouts as an all-in-one application for communications. It allowed instant messaging and video calls, in addition to integrating SMS in the same application. However, in a fight to try to win market to its competitors, it sidelined Hangouts in favor of a new pair of applications: Allo for chats and duo for video calls.
From Google they seem to be clear that Duo is the application that has reached the most among its users. While Allo only seems to maintain its momentum in emerging markets, duo it comes standard on many devices. Replaced Hangouts as a mandatory application in the system, and receives many updates continuously, while Allo always remains more still.
New Google Duo contact list
Recently, Google integrated Duo video calls into your Google Phone, improving the connectivity between both applications. If for something they want me to stand out duo it is because of its simplicity, and putting it within reach of a single button is a good measure to try to get many users. And despite losing its creator, Google Duo will continue to receive advances throughout 2018.
