Google Duo integration will be released for OnePlus 6T, OnePlus 6, OnePlus 5, OnePlus 5T as well as OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T with Android 9.0 Pie update.
OnePlus has announced it will make video calling app, Google Duo as a native function for video calls on its devices. Earlier this week, the feature was rolled out in Open Beta builds of OnePlus 6 and 6T devices. In addition, the Duo integration will be released for OnePlus 5, OnePlus 5T as well as OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T with Android Pie update.
Though Duo will be made as a native function for video calls, the option to access the traditional carrier video calling option will still be there. Users can head to Contact >Select contact >See all >Choose video call to select this option.
Deeper integration with Google Duo essentially means that native video calling on OnePlus phones will be handled by Google Duo and users will not have to rely on third-party applications like Skype, WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger.
The video calls made with Google Duo will also show up in users’ recent calls logs as well. The integration will take place across multiple native functions including call logs, contacts, dial pad, and messaging.
