Google Allo is a smart messaging app that helps you say more and do more. Express yourself better with stickers, doodles, and HUGE emojis & text. Allo also brings you the Google Assistant
Things you can do with Google Allo:
• Respond without typing, with a single tap
• Shout or whisper it to get your point across
• Draw on photos and add text (like Snapchat)
• Respond with Stickers (because it's 2016) and...
Get help from your Google Assistant: the bot that rules all bots. Just add @google, and your Assistant is ready to suggest restaurants, find movies nearby, YouTube videos, sports scores and stats, anything you like. Google is quite good at AI.

Only one device support like Duo, uninstalled. Messenger has multiple devices, desktop, tablet etc. Also messenger has voice and video calls and bots. Ignore this and Google will try again with some else....
In 2016 to be tied to one device? iMessage is even better although not a serious platform since only what 20% of the world can ever use it.

@androidlove Wait like you can only be logged into one device at a time? No desktop is a non-starter for me already.
@guyshimoni I'm in Israel and I was able to download it. But my wife - on the same wifi connection, same type of device, same carrier (Golan) - could not get it. So I'm not sure what their deal is.

@avizuber Is your device connected to the U.S Appstore?
@mchang / @amitfulay -- congrats on the launch. I'm particularly interested in the Google Assistant integration. What are some of the best use cases? Any easter eggs? 😁
"By default, Google will store all non-Incognito messages on its servers in order to improve its AI bot service, according to the report. Messages can still be manually deleted or Incognito mode can be enabled to turn on end-to-end encryption." - Yeah, I think I'll give Allo a skip.

Not available in the US iTunes Store? That's strange...
This looks cool and I'm really going to try it! It just is disappointing ,with all of these great new messenger apps, that most of my contacts are using Whasapp and refuse to switch.
