Indonesian users of Google Duo, a video chat app developed by Google, reportedly make the longest videos calls in the world.
“Indonesians are the third highest users of Google Duo in the world, with the duration of their video calls being higher than average. Their calls last 10 percent longer than the global average,” Fibriayi Elastria, the head of Google Indonesia's consumer marketing, said in Jakarta on Wednesday as quoted by tempo.co.
According to the tech giant's study on video call behavior, most respondents video called because they wanted to see the people they were talking to, as well their facial expressions.
The study involved 195 respondents, who were all over the age of 18 and living in Indonesia’s big city. It found that 48 percent of users vide called their romantic partners, while 40 percent called family members.
