Google's long and illustrious history with messaging apps is forever etched in the annals of tech history. The company never had a problem building one, and strictly speaking, Allo wasn't even all that bad. It's just that there were too many alternatives and Allo simply couldn't keep up. Google seems to he shifting focus away from a personal messaging app to something more business-oriented.

According to a report by The Information, Google's upcoming mobile app will integrate features from its existing solutions such as Hangouts Meet, Hangout Chat, Drive, Gmail, and the likes. It aims to be a one-stop solution for all corporate communication needs. It will be a part of Google's G-Suite package intended for businesses. Currently, one has to rely on two separate apps messaging and video conferencing, which can get rather cumbersome in an enterprise environment. Instead of just being yet-another messaging, this one is poised to act as a central hub where one could check everything work-related.
