Up until today, Google Duo was not available in South Africa from the Google Play store. The only way to install it was to side load the APK which you had to download from somewhere. \u00a0What you could do was to pre-register on the Google Play store to be informed when it will be available for installation. \u00a0This morning (19 August 2016) I woke up with a notification that Google Duo is available in South Africa and can be installed.<\/p>\n
