Google’s program to consolidate its connection services into Meet was expected to (finally) marque things simpler and much straightforward. It was meant to bring astir immoderate consciousness and bid for a institution that has ever overthought this worldly and made it confusing — to a genuinely awesome degree. Earlier this month, the institution rebranded its Duo video chat app arsenic Meet and brought implicit Meet’s features. That near the original, to-be-phased-out Meet app with a caller “Meet (Original)” name. It besides made for an all-time large headline.

But apparently, not each customers person been blessed with Duo’s abrupt individuality change. With the latest update to the Meet app for Android, Google has brought back the archetypal Duo icon and sanction arsenic a abstracted shortcut that appears successful the app launcher. Tapping connected Duo opens Google Meet. So you’ve present got 2 ways of accessing the aforesaid application.

Google told 9to5Google and Droid Life that it made this determination intentionally truthful that users would beryllium capable to motorboat Meet by searching for “Duo,” conscionable similar they had done earlier it was rebranded. But the information that this was adjacent indispensable again points to a institution that has mislaid the thread connected strategy astir these services.

The Duo shortcut mightiness beryllium adjuvant to easiness the transition, but it besides opens the doorway to much disorder — particularly erstwhile Google itself is telling everyone to “look for the Meet sanction and icon arsenic your 1 app for video calling and meetings.” That’s not precisely the lawsuit anymore, present is it? We’re backmost to 2 icons and 2 names for the aforesaid app. And if you unfastened up the multitasking presumption aft launching Meet via the Duo shortcut, you’ll spot Duo’s icon up apical similar so:

Great job, everyone. No notes. Someday we’ll extremity up with conscionable Messages, Google Chat, and Google Meet aft each of this — sadly, without the clean, elemental FaceTime alternate that Duo erstwhile was — but the roadworthy determination is proving rather convoluted.

I’m truly gladsome it’s Friday.
