Google seems to be moving away bit by bit from the Android brand. A new code change seems to suggest it’s doing it this time with its Messages web app. In case you didn’t know, Android has a Messages app that lets you manage your messages from a browser. It’s hosted at the URL messages.android.com. But the code change spotted in Chromium’s Gerrit source code management suggests Google plans to move it to messages.google.com. The code itself shows a simple mechanism that remotely tells Chromebooks to stop using the former URL and switch to the Google.com one. The latter isn’t available yet but we might see the change soon or at least a couple of versions of Chrome in Chromebooks down the line.
