Already on Android and coming soon to iOS, users can personalise video messages with text, emojis and drawings.

After Microsoft rolled out support for 50-person Skype group calls in April and Apple's Facetime gained group call support up to 32 members last October, Google has finally entered the race – albeit only offering eight-person support – thanks to Duo's new group calling feature that officially rolled out everywhere this week for both Android and iOS users.

This update was accompanied by two additional features – a new data saving mode and the ability to personalise video messages.
