- Google Messages might soon allow users to initiate WhatsApp video calls directly from the app.
- Users can currently initiate Google Meet video calls, but the service could prefer WhatsApp in the future.
- Google Messages would still fall back to Google Meet if the other user doesn’t have WhatsApp installed.
Google Messages is getting the bulk of attention from Google these days out of all of its messaging apps. With this growing popularity, getting Messages to play nice with other apps makes sense. Google has used the opportunity to tie apps like Google Meet into Messages, but these other apps are often not that popular, leading to a wasted integration. Google could fix this by integrating more popular apps like WhatsApp as a video call solution within Google Messages.
