With new iPad support, Google Duo takes another stab at FaceTime
Technically, you could use Google's FaceTime competitor on an iPad already... but it didn't look good.
Steve Jobs never honored his promise to make FaceTime an open standard, so Apple enthusiasts must download alternative apps in order to video chat with friends on Android, and vice versa.

Google issued the news in tweet form:
And you can see the mention of fresh iPad support at Apple's App Store as well.
Technically, you've been able to shoehorn Duo into an iPad for a long while now, but the results weren't necessarily great.
Duo is also officially on Android tablets today, though that tablet interface -- along with support for more than one device per user, an important prerequisite -- appears to have been rolling out since July, according to XDA Developers.
