At the I/O this year, some of the biggest highlights were Allo and Duo apps. While Duo is out, the company was to release Allo sometime later in summer. We’ve already seen screenshots revealing some of the features of the Allo, and now news has it that the app may launch anytime soon. This bit of news comes from none other than prolific tipster Evan Blass. He claims that Allo will be launched anytime this week.
It was just recently that early testers of Allo leaked some screenshots of the incognito mode, revealing end-to-end encryption and its Snapchat-inspired feature. According to the report, there will be different graphics in the background to differentiate normal chats from the incognito ones. White for regular and dark grey for incognito. Allo’s incognito chats will also come with a expiry time set to 5/10/30 seconds, 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week or there’s an option to simply turn it off. Sounds familiar?
To those not in the know, Allo is Google’s smartest messenger yet. Apart from letting users chat with one another Allo also connects or is deeply integrated with Google Assistant, or Google’s alternative to bots. With Google’s Assistant built right in you get smart replies (smart suggestions) that will not only suggest quick replies to chats and pictures, but also be contextually aware as well. As mentioned earlier, chats on Allo can also be encrypted and like the incognito mode on Google’s Chrome browser you also get an incognito mode in chat with end-to end encryption.
