Google Allo, Google launches Allo smart messaging app for Android and iOS

Google today launched Google Allo, a messaging app for Android and iOS with Smart Reply and Google Assistant. You can download Allo from Google Play and Apple’s App Store, though you may have to wait a bit as this is a gradual rollout — like its cousin, “the app will be live worldwide in the next few days.” Keep in mind, however, that both Smart Reply and Google Assistant are English-only for now, with “more languages coming soon.”

Introducing Google Allo, a smart messaging app that helps you say more and do more. Express yourself better with stickers, doodles, and HUGE emojis & text. Allo brings you the Google Assistant, preview edition. 

Smart Reply 
Respond to messages without typing a single word. Smart Reply learns over time and suggests responses to text and photos, in your style. 

Ink 
Get creative with the photos you send by doodling on them or adding text. 

Stickers 
Say it all with the perfect sticker. Stickers in Google Allo are designed by independent artists and studios from around the world. 

SHOUT or whisper 
No more typing in ALL CAPS to get your point across. Say it louder or quieter by changing the size of your text with a quick swipe. 

Meet your personal Google Assistant 
Google Allo brings you the Google Assistant, preview edition. Find restaurants nearby, share videos to watch, and get answers, right in your conversation with friends. Add @google to your group conversation or chat one-on-one with your Assistant. It’s your own personal Google, always ready to help. 

Incognito mode 
Send messages with end-to-end encryption, use private notifications to help keep your chats more discreet, and control how long your messages stick around with expiring chats.
