It seems to have taken off already :

> That's the case for many people these days–in fact, every week, over 10 million new people are signing up for Duo, and in many countries, call minutes have increased by more than ten-fold. https://www.blog.google/products/duo/4-new-google-duo-featur....

Disclaimer : Google employee but work far away from duo but use it daily with family and friends.

Genuinely surprised by this, because I have circles in WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Snapchat, Signal and iMessage, but I don't know a single person who uses Duo.

Perhaps a geographical thing and it's only popular in a couple of countries?

I wouldn't call that "taking off", especially in a time when I'm sure every other communication platform is seeing massive growth as well.
