      In one way this is awesome but if you look at the other side of things just think what else could be not installed/running without you even knowing it.

          The same works for Google Allo. I find a contact that was supposed to have allo installed (i could write him), but he never even heard about this app. He had a nexus phone as well. And this all happened when the app was just released. So nothing new. Maybe now they just added this support to more phones, because now i can write to friends with samsung phones, that dont have it installed either.

If they're part of the firmware then they only get updates once in a blue moon.

                Actually, if you don't need the other party to have it installed, why not just bake the functionality into the OS so no one will have to install any extra apps on both sides? Or is it cos of some anti-competitive thing preventing them from doing so?
