This does not mean the disappearance of Hangouts, but Google Duo will come pre-installed on Android phones, in place of the first
it Seems that the Big G wants to popularize as his application of video calling Google Duo, and this is why through an e-mail has notified all of its partners, changes that are favorable to the newly released application.
These changes will apply to the Google Mobile Services — abbreviated GMS — which are also known as Gapps for mobile telephony, that is to say, smartphones. The GMS are the applications that the partners should include in their Android devices.
The statement mentions the following:
Today we are announcing that Google Duo will replace Hangouts within the suite of applications GMS base, and Hangouts will become a GMS optional for telephone products. The change will take effect this December 1, 2016.
This does not mean the end of Hangouts or from your Android application; this means that in the phones presented after the date will be optional on new devices, and if not add it, users will be able to download it direct from the Play Store.
In the same way, it is curious that Google has only indicated as mandatory with the Duo, leaving the newly presntada Allo as an optional application.
If you are a user of Hangouts, you can be assured that at least for now, the company of Mountain View does not plan to make it pass by the guillotine.
