Google Duo No Longer Requires Phone Numbers On Tablets (APK Download)

Last week, Google Duo started rolling out a long-awaited feature that let others reach you over your email address, which meant you didn't have to share your phone number with anyone you wanted to video call. When we covered the news, we tried setting up Duo from scratch using only an email address, but discovered we still needed a phone number for the first sign-up. It turns out there's a nuance: you do need a phone number on phones, but not on tablets.


If you install Duo on a tablet now and open it, you'll notice the screenshot above, which asks for approval to use your email address to sign in. After that, the app lets you select the email address you prefer and then requests access to your contact list, camera, and microphone - all three are necessary for it to function properly.


Unlike phones, you don't get redirected to a screen where you have to input a phone number for verification, and Duo is perfectly happy with only an email address associated with the account, as shown in the screenshot below.


Our tipster told us that this worked well for them with a child account, but we don't have access to a Family Link-managed tablet to try verify that. Technically, though, it should work.


The change went live in v87 of Duo, but you can grab a more recent release, v89, from the Play Store or APK Mirror to give it a try.

Panic-Buying Toilet Paper Is A Bad Habit We Can Break

Once everything settles, the body activates chemicals like dopamine that bring on positive feelings of well-being, rewarding that flight-or-fight response. In this way, the brain powerfully reinforces a key survival instinct. This sequence of experiences and the brain chemistry behind them may explain why people panic-buy toilet paper. “With toilet paper, my limbic system starts thinking about a perceived threat to safety,” says Julie Pike, PhD, a psychologist in Chapel Hill, NC, who specializes in anxiety, hoarding, and posttraumatic stress disorder. She notes that in stockpiling toilet paper, "we avoid a perceived threat and then we are chemically rewarded" with dopamine. A storage closet full of toilet paper after a perceived threat of scarcity -- no matter how unfounded -- brings on that satisfied feeling.
