Google has renamed this popular app
NEW DELHI: Internet search giant Google has rebranded its communication tool, Google Hangouts. The company has now named it Google Meet, as it calls it in a blogpost where it highlights it’d security features.
Although the post nowhere announces this renaming, however, a report by Android Police claims that Google has confirmed to them that it will be retiring Hangouts Meet branding and will call it Google Meet going forward. “The rebrand will happen on a rolling basis, presumably meaning it will take time for it to disseminate globally, or to things like the Android app,” says the report.
It remains to be seen how this rebranding will affect the Hangout chat service and whether or not it be renamed. “Google had no comment at this time as to whether Hangouts Chat would be similarly rebranded,” the report added.
In the blogpost, Google has detailed the measures the company is taking to keep the data of the Google Meet users safe.
