Google's Allo : The boss of instant messaging

There was a revolution in instant messaging service when whatsapp was launched in 2010. And now whatsapp is present there in almost every smartphone in the world. But now at present, a new instant messaging service is knocking the doors of our smartphones whose name is "Allo". It's an instant message service of google which has many features other than chatting which makes it interesting and provides ease to smartphone users. Other than instant messaging, it allows users to send free messages to those phones also which don't have this app installed. This app also consists of a feature called "google assistant" which obeys the users speech commands and act accordingly. If you get bored then you can also chat with the "google assistant". Let's know more about it's features.

Do internet search in the chat window itself

The feature which makes Allo different from whatsapp is "google assistant". You can ask any question from it in writing or by speaking. It can answer any question asked by you. If you want to have some information about anything then just ask from Google assistant and it will provide you the specific information in the chat itself. For example, if you want to open any website then tell google assistant and it will open the website. Or if you want to know about nearby restaurant or any other place then ask from it and it will give you the desired answer in the chat itself. You don't have to open google to search it and this is what which makes it special.

Send SMS to people who are not using Allo

This is also a great feature provided by this app. You can send SMS to those people who are not using this app. It's absolutely free. However the number of SMS's which you can send to other people is not known.

Some other features

• If you will tell google assistant that you are bored then it will give you riddle to solve it or will provide you any game to play in the chat itself.
  
  
• With this you can set reminder and alarm by speaking in chat.
  For example, if you want to set an alarm then you will have to speak "set alarm".
  
  
• If you don't want to type then it's a perfect app for you. If the person on other side writes something then it automatically prepare some answers for you to send. For example, if someone asks you "How are you?" then it will suggest you with answer like "I am fine". And if someone sends a pic then it suggest answers like "nice pic".
  
  
  
  
  

So this is all about this great instant messaging app provided by google. Although there are some concerns regarding the privacy on this app as it's google assistant feature reads the messages of other people in the whole Allo network to create answers for you. But the company has said that it has incognito mode through which a user can hide their chat from Allo and it won't be able to read it.

 So overall it's a nice app and people who are bored with whatsapp must give it try.
