Google in its long line of
different interactive and essential apps, it has introduced a new smartphone
app called Google Allo, an intuitive messaging app. When tried to figure out
what makes the app stand out among all other prominent messaging apps like
Messenger, WhatsApp , Hike, it's found that Allo has been designed to be an
Artificial Intelligence powered messaging app that acts beyond a mere messaging
app.
Compatible with both Android
and iOS devices, the free to download Google Allo stand unique because of the integration
of Google Assistant. Thus Allo paves way for you not only to text your friends
but also start a text conversation with the Assistant to get results about your
queries. So it becomes simpler and interesting for you to chat away your
questions anytime and can get instant replies.
You can make friend with
Google Assistant by conversations like you can share about anything that you
love/interested about. By the way, Allo equipped with Assistant learns things
about you. For instance, if you tell the Assistant that you are much interested
about Taylor Swift's music, the assistant will respond like “I will remember
that". So when you would like to know about the new releases or any
concerts of Swift, you can ask your assistant right away. One another
interesting fact about Allo is when you are chatting with a friend, you can
seek help of the assistant right away from the same chat window. For instance,
if you are in a group chat and your friends are planning for a get together, u
can right away ask Assistant about the nearby cafes, restaurants or pubs. So
based on the instant results brought to
by the Assistant in the chat window itself , you can proceed with the
plan.
Google Allo smartphone App usually
stores all of your conversation on Google's servers and without encryption. But
if you prefer for privacy, Allo has one. You just have to set the app in
Incognito Mode. When you do it, your messages will get completely encrypted and
also will not be stored in Google's servers. You can also set expiration time
for messages and so it will get deleted automatically after the period of time
set by you . Once the messages get deleted, it's gone forever. For preventing
messages from contacts that annoy you, Allo has the ability to block contacts.
Allo mobile app helps you
instant smart replies that will pop up above the keyboard and the text field. Those
are like auto-generated responses to a few general questions like "Are you
busy?”, “How are you"? The smart replies would be like "Not at
all", "yes. Why"? Thus this feature sounds to be a Time saver
when you are in a situation to quick respond or busy with any other important
thing. The Smart Replies feature will be highly helpful not only when you have
to respond for a text message but also for pictures you receive a photo of
French fries, the auto-generated replies will be like "yum yum" and “Looks
Delicious" as Allo can recognize the subject matter of images sent.
The other fun stuff that
Allo has is funny stickers, expressive emojis, and also you may grow creative with
Allo as you can doodle on photos that you send. What is even more interesting
is you can be louder or quiter through text itself by just changing the size of
the text with a simple swipe. Altogether, Allo can be preferred for it's
integration of Google Assistant except for the fact that it doesn't provide any
feature for video-calling.
