After recent updates the app has become so bad. Sometimes we can't start a call. We can't create groups. Today I got a bug where I couldn't switch to my back camera. Also the phone becomes so laggy while using the app. Don't know why the whole phone would lag for doing video call. There seems to be some or the other memory leak somewhere. Edit: the devs have asked me clear the cookies from my browser. bruh I am using a freaking android mobile app. how am I supposed to clear these things?
Reviews for Google Meet
The Speaker option is Faulty. On every new call, Whenever i click on speaker, in one second, it returns back to phone. Then I should click again for it to work. This has been the same since the past 2 to 3 months. I keep hoping with every update, that this issue is solved. There's no option to give feedback on this as well.
This is an edit of my original review. I don't have older phones and Google Duo (Meet) was working fine before this update. I have very low volume during Meet video call. I have to turn off Bluetooth and then initiate a call to have audio loud enough to hear. I am not the only one experiencing this issue. Come on guys, this is a real issue. Need a fix.
I hate having to sign in. I am missing calls because I am not always alerted and this is no doubt due to my not being logged in. This sucks & I want to delete but can't. It's been months since I created my initial review & nothing has changed! I recommend that everyone start deleting their information from Google & anything associated with them that stores your information. This is an attempt to control what you do! Meet is now using email addresses for people to call you. How??? Sick of it!!!
"Something went wrong. Please try again." fails at entering phone number. "restarting your phone and make sure you have updated the Meet app to the most recent version. If that doesn't work, try clearing the app’s cache and storage, or uninstall and reinstall the app." does not help. you actually have to fix bugs in software.
its pretty good but a problem im having right now and it didnt do this before is that it cuts out calls after a short period of time. It is also better quality calls and i can actually understand the person im talking to. Overall, its pretty good! Edit 1/20/24 - Meet lo longer cuts out calls randomly, but sometimes there will be a drop in audio/video quality when everyone in the chat has perfectly good Internet connection. Still pretty good tho!
Update 11/10/2024 What is this crazy zoom that the app now does? You cannot see the total face unless you move the phone quite far away?! Google meet is up to the level of Google Duo. Very reliable communication app that allows you to place calls and video calls. Quality of calls is good, and drops are rare. Serving the purpose of professional and personal needs.
With the new layouts, it keeps frustrating me. Firstly, why do I have to full-screen the video myself every so often? It's unnecessary, especially when screen sharing because I'd like to see what's on the screen being shared rather than having to full-screen it myself. Additionally, who's idea was it for the call to automatically hang up if you close the window from the app overview? It's annoying, especially if someone can't pick up the phone immediately.
This app sucks. It would've gotten a 5 star review if it didn't have so much lags and glitches. While I'm playing other games it kicks me out of the game, keeps hanging up on whoever I'm calling, audio messes up alot, it's just annoying. Please please PLEASE fix it ASAP! I don't have any other apps to FaceTime on and this is my only option. Please and thank you.
Seems to be a bug with the latest update. If you turn on the additional encryption setting and call a contact, they can not hear you until you turn it off. I tried, power cycling the phone. Force closing any and all apps accessing microphone, took-away and returned mic permissions to the meet app and none of these steps got the microphone working again until I went into my Meet app settings and turned off the additional encryption. It worked up until this current version though.
