A new instant messaging app from Google is now available for download on Android terminals. Google wanted to merge a messaging service with the possibilities of its search engine through a "bot" (it is a computer program, imitating the behavior of a human).

Allo offers service options such as Whatsapp or Line that includes emoticons, stickers, voice notes, file sharing and the possibility of personalizing and drawing on photographs before sending them. In addition, there is the possibility of chatting with an intelligent assistant about data that is normally consulted on the web. The Google Assistant can be incorporated into conversations, so that it provides all kinds of information by adding @Google in front of the conversation. The wizard is still in the "Preview" version.

With respect to privacy, the conversations held in Allo will be stored on Google servers, one way to prevent conversations from being stored on Google servers is to use incognito mode or the user does so. actively delete.

Allo is Google's new commitment to growing in users, the new app will try to compete with services such as Whatsapp, WeChat, Line or Telegram.
