Google has its alternative to applications like WhatsApp o Line ready to perform at this week's developer event. Finally its name will not be Babel, but Hangouts, a term that the search engine company already uses in its video chat service and that will mean the unitary concretion of its different messaging tools. We give you all the details that are known about this new product before its presentation.
We knew that Google he had a courier up his sleeve. If at first it was known as Babel, now it seems clear that its official name will be Hangouts.
The truth is that important doubts still hang over the nature of this resource since, as we said, Hangouts is the name given to the video chat rooms in Google+, which on the one hand makes us wonder if the alleged alternative to WhatsApp it will be an application or simply a tool integrated in the aforementioned service.
On the other hand, most specialized websites assume that it will be an app and that it will bring together the different icons that now confuse its use in Android under a single name that accommodates the most important functions of them all and adds some new features that are successful in other messaging services.
Whatever it is, depending on Phone Arena, we'll meet him throughout this week at the developer event for Google. This portal has reported that Google workers received an email days ago thanking them for the intense work of "testing" the latest products of the company and in which, in addition, they were confirmed that Hangouts I was ready for the conferences that will take place starting on Wednesday.
It remains to be seen if Google manages to take over the messaging domain in Android (and even on iOS if they decide to launch an app for the competition). Your interest in WhatsApp gives an idea of how important it must be for Mountain Viewers to control this area in which some applications, such as the one mentioned a line above or Line, they seem to be already well positioned.
