Google Allo: The Wait Is Over!

2016-09-21
what's going on guys Ron Purita here from TechnoBuffalo and today is a big day because Google has finally launched a low on the very last day of summer so they kept their promise of a summer release so let's go ahead and take a look at what's up with a low so I already signed up and you do so with your phone number which asks you when you first open up the app as you can see I already have a couple conversations going on the first thing I want to go over is the Google assistant so as you can see I'm having a conversation here with Google assistant about Conor McGregor as I should be and it basically interacts with you and you can basically type in any sort of question you have whether it be about Conor McGregor in this case a sports game and then it also as you can see gives you recommendations automatically what about Floyd Mayweather what about Ronda Rousey and by clicking on it Google assistant will come with a response and it brings up her profile automatically it's pretty good Google did say this is sort of almost like a beta version so don't take it as though it's finished but it does really really well and I like it I like having it right there in my messaging app now these sort of quick reply cards here as mentioned are going to be a common theme so now let's say I hop into a conversation and let's say I'm talking with Niven and then this is how we get a confirmation here we're gonna have this little check mark to shows its end and then if it's a double check it'll be once he's read it he has read it we got a double check he responded and now I get an auto reply option how are you we can also go on hit this plus button and we can use stickers I'm a huge fan of these stickers apparently Google got specific artists to make these and I'm a real big fan of them they're very fun they're very unique and they sort of add a new touch of flavor anyway so this is super addictive and super fun you can also send photos you can also take photos and then send those and this is another cool little feature you can actually go ahead and draw on them so you can scribble on them do whatever you want and then send and they become a part of the conversation so as you can see it's all very fluid and it works really well it's very fast one of the last things is let's say you want to make an emphatic message you can type something press and hold the send button and then depending on how far up or down you scroll that is how big or small that's ooh couldn't said it better myself and as you can see we got a quick little preview right there when we got a response it actually also allows for auto replies in the notifications so awesome stuff and standard stuff here from other messaging apps you can do a voice recording by pressing and holding and then slide to cancel it and the very last feature is encryption google talk to that intent to encryption that has not made it to a low however antenna encryption has made it in incognito mode so I have an incognito conversation here with Niven as well we talked a lot this is for the inappropriate things and what we have here as you can see at the top right is a timer so the conversation the chat will expire in our case after five seconds the internet off it will instantly disappear or you can do one day or one week so if we leave it to five seconds you can see my messages already just disappeared he said what's going on and then five seconds no what happened to John let's find out and as you can see the messages disappeared so that works pretty well it's cool to have the end and encryption here Google did say that they're not going to be doing end-to-end encryption into all the normal messaging because they want to be able to acquire data so Google assistant can be better fitted for your needs and that's pretty much a low the issues with a low that I'm already realizing is when you're chatting with people who are not on a low it sends as a different number like a four or five to the number not your actual phone number and it gets really weird doesn't really work as a good SMS app unless the other person is using a low as far as we can see now anyways so that's pretty much it for this video guys let me know your thing in the comments down below are you a fan of a low are you gonna go ahead and give this a shot I think there are some good things I think there's some things that are making to make adoption kind of hard moving into the future thanks so much for watching hit subscribe if you want to see more like this
