Google Launches Allo, Messaging App That Can Make Facebook Jealous

This is a new messaging app in town which i think facebook will be jealous of.  While Facebook has been working to integrate bots with Messenger, Google went ahead and built a messaging app around the most useful bot there is: Google (googl,)search.

Allo, which was announced in May but is now available for download, marries Google search with many of the fun features people have grown accustomed to using in other apps.

By now, you should be rocking its twin brother Duo, google very own dedicated video calling app, easy to use and user friendly even with slow internet connection.

Both Duo and now Allo are tied to your phone number rather than your Google account, Duo is a dedicated video calling app; while Allo is a dedicated Instant Messaging app comparable to the likes of WhatsApp and iMessage

 Google Allo carries a number of like-minded features which includes

>> group chatting,

>>stickers packs

>>and the option to let messages expire.

>>Dedicated Assistant akin to Google Now, which can readily answer your questions and queries with the '@Google' command.

The big thing that's missing is the ability to make video and audio calls, which was intentional.
