If your calling history or messages aren't displayed in your app

To view calling history and messages, you must use the new Meet app.

To check which app version you're in:

   • If your version starts with “2022”: You are in the Meet (original) app which doesn't include your Duo calling history. To view your calling history and messages, open your updated Duo app.

If meetings don’t appear in your updated Duo app

• To access meeting features, you must sign in with a Google Account. Accounts set up with only a phone number can’t access meeting features.

  1. In the top right corner of your phone, tap the Profile picture .
     • On Android: You will find the Google Accounts registered on your device.
