Google Duo is arguably the best Video Calling app on Android, and it is quite popular too that’s why the app has lately been receiving great new features via updates. The latest of those is a Note feature that allows you to send self-destructing texts or doodles to others instead of a video message.
Moreover, the new Note section offers a canvas where people can doodle or type texts to the recipient. This note, like sending a video message, will be available for viewing for the next 24 hours, after which it’ll get deleted.
