Google unveils WhatsApp competitor

Google has unveiled a new messaging app which is set to compete against the likes of WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

Google said another standout feature is “WhisperShout”, which lets users change the size of the text in their message before they send it by dragging their finger up or down.

Amazing!

Suggestion chips or ads?

No thanks.

The integration with Google Assistant could be a killer app feature...

I reckon it's gonna be the default Android IM app. It'll come with new Android phones.

No one downloaded BBM, yet once it was big, still is.

Is this going to be like when Facebok killed Myspace?

In real-time detecting the entities in that picture

Do they know the things people send each other?

Looks really nice. Question ... why have two seperate apps, one for messaging and another for calling? Why not have one app to do both?

Already have Skype and Whatsapp, do I need another?

Like Googles new keyboard Gboard that was released on iOS first?

The mobile app (Android) is equally atrocious.

I've got 3GB that thing is memory intensive.

Might actually drop WhatsApp for this if I can get the squad to switch with me

For what good reason?

Not sure how I feel about suggestion chips. I want to talk to a real person, not an AI.
