Earlier this year, Google began merging its Duo and Meet platforms together. Now, the Duo app icon is back... only to redirect people to Meet. Oh boy.

Earlier this month, Google purged the Duo app out of existence by merging it with Google Meet, painting the camera icon in four colors of the company’s famous logo to differentiate it from the original green Meet app. Now, Duo has come back from the dead — or at the very least, its blue and white icon has.

Google said it brought the Duo icon back to make the transition to Meet a lot easier. But, of course, users have expressed their fury over the change on the Google Meet listing on the Play Store. One commenter wrote that Duo was more user-friendly because it made video calls easier, whereas Meet added steps that made placing video calls extremely difficult.
