Did you find the home screen interface confusing when using Duo? Actually, maybe I should confirm this: have you used Duo? Google would really appreciate it if you at least try it. For this purpose, it listens to some users on ways to make the home screen easier to use.

According to a support forum post published earlier this week, Duo’s home screen will soon be decorated with a “new call” button, which will expand into a standard Duo call, group call, call. “Home” (ie smart screens and speakers connected to your Home / Assistant) and a link to view groups and contact lists. Existing functions will be moved to facilitate this change.

The Google rep said the update will roll out over the next few weeks, but if anyone has it yet, we haven’t seen it. It will be interesting to see if focusing on ease of use will lead to the adoption of Duo by more people. At this point, it’s hard to see how that could hurt.
