Google Duo to stop working for uncertified Android devices: Report

Google Duo will stop working on uncertified Android smartphones in the near future, according to a report on 9to5Google. This was spotted in the new update’s code of the video-calling app, according to the report. Earlier, the Google Messages app had stopped working on phones which were not certified.

Uncertified Android devices are those which are not tested by Google and do not come with Play services and a suite of Google apps pre-installed. One of the notable smartphone brands which is set to lose support for Google Duo will be Huawei. For users who purchased a smartphone from brands like Nokia, Samsung, OnePlus, Vivo, Oppo and others, Google Duo will continue to run smoothly.
