Google comes with chat apps Allo and Duo

- Google has launched a new chat app at I / O 2016. Allo and Duo are the successors of Hangouts. Unlike their predecessors, the new apps based on your phone number. This Google seems to open the attack on popular competitors such as WhatsApp and iMessage and FaceTime Apple.

In addition to old-fashioned chat, users Allo can also make full use of stickers and emoji. Nothing special, but what Google differently than the competition is that it gives users the ability to influence the tone of their conversation. Who wants to shout something, emoji can make bigger and the opposite is the case with things you'd rather whispers. What is especially worth seeing in Duo, the option Knock Knock. When an incoming video call, you will first see a few seconds live image of the 'other party'. Thus, you know exactly who you are trying to achieve and what to call it in the pipeline.

Another unique feature of Allo is the ability to use automatic replies suggested by Google. Google scans incoming messages and then gives you a few options. For example, you get a picture of a good plate of pasta, you get Google's ability to return to reserve a seat at an Italian restaurant nearby, you can get a 'yammie' emoji or you can search for recipes of pasta. This functionality is somewhat reminiscent of the bots that Facebook has recently invested in its Messenger app. The source behind the automatic answer is also integrated into Google Home Assistant.
