The Russians were widely loaded the Google Meet after announcing the block of calls to Telegram and WhatsApp August 13.
In Russia, on August 22, the Google Meet service had a failure, which, after blocking Telegram and WhatsApp calls, became one of the most popular voice and video communication applications. This has been proven by dowdtector data.
Problems started in the morning, the number of complaints per hour reached about 300. Malfunctions were recorded in Karelia, Moscow and the Moscow region, St. Petersburg and the Ivanovo region of the Russian Federation.
Users have complained about the general service failure, as well as problems with the site and mobile application of the Google Meet.
The service allows all Google registered users who have registered to make audio and video calls for free, while, according to users, the quality of Google Meet communication is better than Telegram and WhatsApp.
Officially, Roskomnadzor announced the blocking of calls to Telegram and WhatsApp on August 13, which motivated it to the need to protect citizens from scammers. In response, the Russians were widely loaded the Google Meet: even at the beginning of last week, the service increased in second place with free applications for communication with the Russian App Store. Some users have mentioned that they are installing the Google Meet to avoid using Max State Messenger.
Earlier, the state of Duma of the Russian Federation decided to create an application that combined the operations of Messenger and Government services. As the goal is stated “creating a comfortable and safe digital environment” for virtual communication of citizens and authorities.
Remember, the Russian Rutube application has disappeared from Google Play.
