Google’s plan to consolidate its communication companies into Meet was presupposed to (lastly) make issues less complicated and extra easy. It was meant to result in some sense and order for a corporation that has all the time overthought these things and made it complicated — to a really spectacular diploma. Earlier this month, the corporate rebranded its Duo video chat app as Meet and introduced over Meet’s options. That left the unique, to-be-phased-out Meet app with a brand new “Meet (Original)” identify. It additionally made for an all-time nice headline.

But apparently, not all clients have been pleased with Duo’s sudden identification change. With the most recent replace to the Meet app for Android, Google has introduced again the unique Duo icon and identify as a separate shortcut that seems within the app launcher. Tapping on Duo opens Google Meet. So you’ve now obtained two methods of accessing the identical utility.

Google told 9to5Google and Droid Life that it made this transfer deliberately in order that customers would have the ability to launch Meet by trying to find “Duo,” similar to they’d achieved earlier than it was rebranded. But the truth that this was even mandatory once more factors to an organization that has misplaced the thread on technique round these companies.

The Duo shortcut is likely to be useful to ease the transition, however it additionally opens the door to extra confusion — particularly when Google itself is telling everybody to “look for the Meet name and icon as your one app for video calling and meetings.” That’s not precisely the case anymore, now could be it? We’re again to 2 icons and two names for a similar app. And in the event you open up the multitasking view after launching Meet through the Duo shortcut, you’ll see Duo’s icon up high like so:

Great job, everybody. No notes. Someday we’ll find yourself with simply Messages, Google Chat, and Google Meet in spite of everything of this — sadly, with out the clear, easy FaceTime different that Duo as soon as was — however the street there may be proving fairly convoluted.

I’m actually glad it’s Friday.
