Weekly App Round-up
Android App Updates
Google Duo gets audio calling
One of the big complaints about Google Duo at launch was the lack of audio-only calls. Video calling is great, but there are many situations when video isn’t needed.Last week, Google rolled out audio calls in Brazil, but now the feature is rolling out worldwide.

Facebook Messenger got a couple of big features this month. You can share “Stories” just like in Snapchat and Instagram (which FB also owns). Every app has stories now. A more useful feature is the ability to share your live location. You can show your friends exactly where you are on a map.
