According to the report, last year when this news was circulated, the Google Duo team was not happy about this. Keeping in view this, the company decided not to merge both platforms, instead of providing them with the functionalities that they lag.
Google is not Merging Duo and Meet
For Meet, Google will be adding new functionality that allows users to initiate video conferencing by just making a phone call. Other than this, the company plans to offer end-to-end encryption to Duo. The team which was previously working on Duet is deployed to the Google Meet team to bring enterprise-related features to the platform. Due to this, the Duo is quite neglected for the last few months. The company has also rolled out changes that it launched for duo users in past.
