Google Duo has finally got a new feature to include images -- Version 56 -- which is now partially live and allows users to send Snapchat-like single photos to their contacts.

"Released on Thursday, version 56 of Google Duo adds the application to Android's system share sheet, including in Google Photos and Files. This allows users to message any saved photo on their device via Duo.

Since Google has shut Allo down and with Hangouts seemingly more focused towards enterprise users, it makes sense that the tech giant would want to bring some messaging-like features to Duo as well.
