VentureBeat has reached out to Google for more information on this “strategic agreement,” and to find out whether we can expect Duo to be integrated into any other third-party services in the future. With this Truecaller integration, we’re able to bring a better video calling experience to millions of new users.”

“Our aim is to make video calling simple, fast, and available to everyone. “Video calling should work for everybody, regardless of what platform they are on,” explained Google Duo head Amit Fulay, in a statement. Google hasn’t publicly announced an API to integrate Duo with third-party apps before now, but in the coming months Truecaller’s Android and iOS app will sport a dedicated Duo button, letting Truecaller users access Duo’s video calling smarts without leaving the Truecaller app. Each app sports distinctive features, but they all serve the same core function - to connect friends with friends.

On a related note, if you’re confused about Google’s messaging app strategy, well, you’re not the only one, as the company now offers Duo, Allo, Hangouts, and Messenger. The company recently announced that it was adding audio calling to the mix, for when video calling isn’t an option due to bandwidth limitations. Duo was built with a single purpose in mind and, free from bloat, promised to be a fast and fluid alternative to other video calling apps out there - a single tap of a button connects you with friends.
