It seems Google's much anticipated chat messenger dubbed "Google Allo" will give a good fight to Facebook owned popular messaging service, WhatsApp, which currently has over 1 billion active users. The search giant had first showcased "Google Allo" along with "Duo" video calling app at the I/O 2016 developer conference. While, Google has already rolled out its video-calling app, the text messaging service "Allo" is still awaiting a release date.
Talking about the features, the upcoming mobile-only messaging app "Google Allo" will be tied to user's phone number same as WhatsApp. It is to be noted that users will also be able to link the app with their Google account. The messaging app will come with a quick and simple interface and will let users chat with their contacts in all ways like simple text messaging, sending graphics, emojis and stickers as well as doodling on photos, reported PCMag.
According to a report coming from Android Police, citing alleged screenshots from a test version of "Google Allo," the messaging app from the search giant will also offer voice messaging feature. As per the report, voice messaging feature will enable users to quickly record voice messages and send to their contacts. They will just need to tap the microphone icon present on the right of Allo's text box, record the message while pressing the icon and then let the icon go to send it.
Another major feature which is making it to the list is Smart Reply. The feature which offer suggestions on responses to users which they can use within conversations. "Google Allo" is rumored to come with end-to-end encryption and Incognito Conversations as well as Whisper and Shout features. Users will also be able to delete sent or received messages from their chat history. There's currently no word on when Google intends to release its new messaging app "Allo."
