Google
promised it would release both Allo and Duo, they are new chat and video calling
apps, this summer. Duo landed more than a couple of months ago, but
Allo is just barely succeed in achieving something by a very narrow margin.
The Allo site is now live,
and it gives you a rundown of the most important features of Google’s new
messaging app. The app itself is still rolling out worldwide. Allo is available for
both Android and iOS.
We are surrounded by tones
of chatting applications in today’s date by targeting a specific area or a
specific need of the users! Why is Allo so special amongst this? Well,
it’s a Google Product! I have tested all its feature so far and I think this is
going to replace your daily messaging app, i.e. WhatsApp! The overall look and feel of the app is quite
nice and lite! A phone number is all that’s required in order to use, unlike in
its earlier application Hangout where you needed a Gmail account! I have tested
the features and managed to bring out the most interesting ones over here-
Smart Reply: Allo offers a lot of smart features and the
experience was pretty satisfying in the start. Are you a lazy person?
Then the Smart Reply feature is gonna be very useful to you! The
app basically just learns the way you converse and suggests the auto replies
which you can send. Isn’t that cool?! Sadly, this feature is only
available in English for now. Google may launch smart reply for other
languages soon.
Text Size: Allo also allows you to
adjust the size of your text while chatting! Wondering how it’s important?
At times, when you’re chatting with someone and you really want to make a
statement loud and clear so you go ahead and type THE ENTIRE MESSAGE IN CAPS!
There is a way better alternative. After you’re done typing, just
swipe up the text box to increase the text size and swipe down to decrease! Cool ain’t it?
Stickers: Allo also has a collection
of cool stickers for all your mood! We have seen this in a lot of applications. The collection is not that broad yet but given
that it has newly launched, we are hoping they will update their sticker
library soon.
The Biggest and the Coolest feature of Allo is the Google Assistant! Texting a friend and want to find out an answer to something? Just type @google in the chat box and ask the question! Google assistant will give you an answer right there in your conversation window, which is a pretty handy! Google assistant can also be used in a lot of other ways! You can just type to your assistant to set a reminder at 6 PM to buy milk and Google Assistant will do that for you. Want to know weather update? or distance or traffic to a place you want to travel to? Just type anything and you shall get your answer right in your chat box! Apart from this, the Assistant helps you when you are bored too! Tell her you’re bored and she can play music, videos, games etc for you! Be it recommending restaurants to hotels or knowing your flight status, Google Assistant will do it all for you! How great is that? (P.S. There’s more after the images )

Incognito
Chat : Google’s Allo also enables you to
chat in Incognito mode. Any message you send in Incognito mode will have
end-to-end encryption, discreet notifications. They will not show up on your
lock screen. Also, you get the option to set a time how long these messages
will last. Once you set the expiration time, the chat history will be removed
after reaching that time. Tight security is the best
advantage of Incognito mode, but unfortunately, you cannot use Google Assistant
with Incognito mode on.
I had a pretty great Experience trying out the
new Smart messaging App google has to offer Google has indeed created a
brilliant application. It can really be useful and convenient for you once you
start using it!. If you want to
use Allo to send a message to a non-Allo user, you can do that. The message
will be visible to your non-Allo friend in notifications. The message will also
have a link to download Allo.
Want to try out the app?I have left a link down
below, it’s free to download and to use! Do comment in the section below about your experience and features you wish to use in the Google
Allo!
