Allo will have to wait for the Pixels to flood the streetsLet's have Home in our homes and many other services take advantage of Google Assistant. Until then, he will be wandering around without rhyme or reason due to the high competitiveness among the hottest messaging apps of the moment.
But, Google will continue to update it as it happened a few days ago with that version 2.0 that brings with it the direct answers, Direct Share, keyboard support with GIFS and more. An update that integrates some details that were expected such as the ability to reply to messages from the status bar or lock screen.
The first app that Google Assistant has had in the Play Store has been updated to 2.0 with the ability to reply directly from the notification in the status bar. A feature that other messaging apps such as Hangouts or WhatsApp have.
It also now supports Android Wear, so you can make an answer with your voice or through emojis on Android Wear. The third most important feature is Direct Share; This is that you can share any image from another application so that you can send it directly to a specific contact or group in Allo. Another functionality that is present in other apps such as Telegram.
Finally, we are left with a host of details that are capable of improving the user experience, although without going too far. Supports GIFs via keyboards that have this option, quick access on the desktop to create a new conversation, incognito key alerts, home splash screen and official multi-window support.
A new version that brings a number of small features that will not make many differences, but they do put Allo on a par with that same version of Android with Direct Share, quick actions and more.
