With Duo launching this past week we were wondering if Allo would show itself. Thus, the Allo and Duo. The search giant has defended its decision, saying the app has features which rely on the Google Assistant and AI, and thus end-to-end encryption won’t be possible if users wish to utilise them.
Whether or not you have the need for a Windows 10 desktop application depends on how often you use Google Drive and whether or not you intend to take your files with you on the go. No separate account is required, so you can sign up in just a few steps. You might wonder why Google is not making one app of them. Google duo release date is 15th August 2016.

From the Play Store, you can select the Maps app from the list of your installed apps.
Allo will also give suggestions for restaurants and in the USA, users will able to book a table at a restaurant inside the app via OpenTable. They will be able to choose between messages lasting 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, or off just like in Snapchat. During that time, the communications app has accumulated many features such as video calling and SMS support. Before you get to excited it doesn’t look like custom sticker packs are coming, personally, I’m gutted by this, I just don’t think I can communicate without my Business Fish sticker pack. It’s important to note that Knock Knock won’t work for non-contacts regardless if it’s enabled or not.
Duo is simple from start to finish. The answer: solid connectivity. The app smartly switches between Wi-Fi and 4G network.
Allo also gives its users the ability to delete certain messages from their chats.

And that’s really about it. Billed as a one-to-one video calling app, the app is reliable enough to eliminate the hassles users face with traditional video calling apps. Now there is a good news for those who wants to make audio only calls. There is no need to worry if your friends are on different platform devices. We’ll have to wait for the actual unveil to truly test it out. If so, what are your thoughts on it so far?
