Allo now officially available
Google has even launched a new website where he explains all the virtues and benefits of this app that comes with the idea of present battle to WhatsApp being linked to the phone number, being able to launch and receive SMS and have among its ranks Google Assistant, one of the services in which Google is putting more love and efforts.
There it is linked to your phone number and has been designed, for now, for smartphones. All contacts that use Allo will be displayed automatically, and those that do not, can be taken to the download of the app.
El central axis of Allo it's Google Assistant, which is a big part of Android and Google in general for years to come. It offers useful information and links to contextual information and natural responses to the thread of the conversation. If, for example, you ask about the weather tomorrow, it will result in a natural response as if you were talking to a person. It is a chat assistant that you can use at any time during the conversation.
First steps with Allo
By having Google Assistant as the main protagonist of this application, from the moment you launch Allo, you will have it available as if it were another conversation window with a contact. If you click on it, it will welcome you and ask you to give it permission to use the device's GPS to locate you and thus offer more precise information.
Done this, Google Assistant will offer a series of cards that indicate the series of questions that you can ask related to restaurants, questions about knowledge in general, actions (put reminders / alarms), weather forecast, sports, travel, translations, news and even funny things like videos, images and jokes. Assistant will try to provide all kinds of information from the comfort of chatting with someone so that either of you can access it from that conversation.
Allo has a FAB button located at the bottom right that will take you to a new screen where you will have all the contacts and the ability to start a group chat, incognito chat or open the conversation with Google Assistant. There is also the side navigation panel that opens with a swipe to go to the profile, blocked contacts and settings. The latter allow you to activate the sound of messages, notifications, change their sound, vibration and always download multimedia files.
Google Allo is in its first day and in order to start a conversation with the assistant you need to use the Anglo-Saxon language. By the time it is available from the Google Play Store, Google Assistant will surely be activated, which has all those voice commands that we usually use in Google Now, so it will be a matter of hours that we can have natural conversations with the assistant.
You can download it from the Google Play Store, but I said, if you don't have it yet, download the APK below to have Allo on your smartphone and encourage your friends and contacts to use it.
