The momentum to which Allo is being received by the general public is overwhelming!
Let's talk about the features of Google Allo.
First of all, although Edward Snowden complain of Allo infringing upon people's privacy by selling ads to them, and thereby stealing information to the advertisers, Allo has an 'incognito' mode which allows for end-to-end encryption of messages to protect users' privacy. So, even if you have nothing to hide, there's no need to encrypt your messages from advertisers and authorities as well.
Secondly, Allo has a smart reply function which displays optional replies to messages of which you can choose from. This makes text messaging faster and more smarter, unlike our traditional WhatsApp messenger.
Thirdly, it has a personal assistant system which works like an AI, you can either talk to it or text it and it replies back in a matter of milliseconds. Google Assistant, as it's called, is a very smart bot which works like 'Jarvis' in Ironman, 'Siri' in Apple iPhone and 'Cortanna' in Microsoft Windows, is very smart in replying to your messages. It can set your alarm for you, set a timer, give you daily weather updates, news updates, facts, and even poems to talk but a few.
