I feel like I got stood up for a date here at Google i/o 2016 and if I did I could message her using Google's brand new ridiculously awesome looking messenger app called a low and the voice chat client that goes with it called duo these things like absolutely incredible and important things to know the big one multi-platform is whether or not you are an apple or an Android you can use the client the big must-haves for messenger app are there it's going to be linked to your phone number as well so it's be pretty easy to set up and get messages from contacts Google did a lot of things that we haven't really seen before for messaging app first they have something called whisper and shout when you hit the send button if you just hold your finger over it you can change the size of the font so if you want to shout you can make a big want to be timid maybe a little bit meek and whisper you go ahead and put that funk all the way down and send out the resort now to just sending messages in all caps some people know you are yelling at them who is also trying to take a small piece of that snapchat audience with ink you can draw write on pictures and send them off to your friends and also kind of snapchat you can set timings for messages on it to expire in a certain time you can set that they also kind of incognito mode now as well so if you want to have a message be deleted as soon as you close a window you can go ahead and do that so IQ best just private forever you stuff you guys are up to you can do that now with a low a low is really integrated Google's brand new just announced Google assistant it's kind of like Google now 2.0 and it's going to learn how you type and learn what you write to start giving you smart replies so if your wife wants no time for coming home for dinner for example it'll know that you say 10 minutes or suck at the office of oppose messages up for you you just go ahead and cap it to send it an integration Google assistant goes way beyond that as well it's can integrate with the context of what you're typing or the picture itself you want to send a picture of I don't know maybe an adorable french bulldog it'll know it's a french bulldog it'll give you things you might want to say about said french bulldog like that dog is cute how does it breathe whatever and go ahead send it integrate right there as well if you want to make dinner reservations and you want to suggest Italian restaurant it'll suggest those for you right inside of the app and give you a card that everybody can see pick the restaurant even book the reservation using open right from ello there's a ton of cool new features in there too you keep them played games with it like guess the movie using emoji but ello wasn't the only cool thing Google announced they also announced a standalone video app called duo again cross-platform iOS and Android but they didn't say those we're gonna see a desktop client but fingers crossed some sort of chrome plugin or chrome app will be available it does a couple of cool things we haven't seen before from a video chat application it's got something called knock-knock so instead of just seeing a picture of who's trying to video chat with you you actually see live video of them so if you maybe it's your daughter calling your girlfriend you can actually see whatever they're doing before you answer or decide not to answer who talked a lot about how optimized this was as well so do matter what cellular caching you're on if it's a bad connection or strong connection it should work really well and of course it's fully encrypted Google talked a ton about aloe and dua but we don't know is when they're going to be available in full release the answer is hopefully it's going to be soon because they look incredible it looks like a finally a challenger to iMessage that's really going to be cross-platform a this is going to be what whatsapp is try to do with Facebook messages try to be and when I messages tried to be as well one app regardless of what platform you are on assuming you're not a Windows Phone or blackberry 10 what do you guys think are you ready to say hello or do you more want to say goodbye I've been wanting make that joke since the keynote well - your thoughts on it because the comments down below until next time I'm John render from TechnoBuffalo we are in beautiful Mountain View California at Google i/o 2016 see you guys next video
