Google could be working on a new messaging app

As the headline says, the company Google could be working on creating a new mobile messaging application A rather surprising move for trying to continue competing in a market of applications of the most cool and, above all, because Google already has its own messaging tool: Hangouts However , it seems that this strategy is focused on developing markets, seeking to satisfy specific communication needs.

The information comes from the newspaper The Times of India, where, citing various sources, they affirm that Google would already be in full development work with this application. Of course, still at an early stage. In addition, according to this newspaper, Google would be looking for this application to focus on developing markets, offering a powerful communication alternative to WhatsApp, LINE and the rest of the applications that are already available. Undoubtedly, a high-risk challenge for the company from Mountain View

But Google has a couple of tricks up its sleeve. To enhance this tool, and as differentiating data from other messaging alternatives, the new application could be used without the need for a Google user account, opening so the doors to anyone.In addition, it would be a completely free service A point with which it would compete directly against WhatsApp Finally , according to the information transmitted by the newspaper of India, this application would seek to unite all the communication of the terminal under the same place. Thus, as is already the case with Hangouts, the new application they are working on would collect both instant and free messages via the Internet, like the classic SMS messages A real plus in developing markets where the latter type of messages are still widely used.

For the moment from Google they have preferred not to make any kind of statement in this regard. However, it is still very striking news given the context and the current situation of messaging applications. And it is that with Hangouts present and available for any terminal Android, it is strange thatGoogle invest effort and money in creating a new tool just for the sake of being deployed in emerging markets Although it has recently launched Android One, a project to bring low-cost smartphones to these markets, its operating system offers the possibility of using any available messaging application, including Hangouts

We will have to wait, then, to find out more details about this movement from Google And it is that the sources affirm that the work is already underway. All this to create a new application of free messaging, free of the obstacles of registering with a Google account and that, for the moment, it is known that it will include the messages via the Internet, SMS messages, the possibility of dictating messages with voice so that they can be written and, in addition, that it will have support for Hindi, according toThe Times of India
