Google's new messaging app

We've known for some time that Google was about to take its first steps in the instant messaging world without forgetting Hangouts, but now we can finally download and try out the APK of their new instant messaging application, with which wants to compete with WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Telegram.

What does Google Allo offer that others don't?

Of course, Google didn't want to introduce us to its WhatsApp killer app without giving us something new. Allo comes with a number of features and features that set it apart from all of its competitors. We'll have to wait and see if they lead to success or failure.

• Personal assistant: The main function of Google Allo is the integration of the @google bot as a personal assistant that we can contact to ask for information on any topic or function related to our phone, such as: B. Memories.
