Google Allo Hands-On Preview: Yes, it's a preview

2016-09-21
hey guys a little bit of on-the-go action especially with hi May and one doing I phone coverage alright so I don't text too often but having google introduced a low for Android and iOS means that I get to play around with a few advanced messaging features and even though we're not exactly close to I message territory there are a few nifty features to this texting client first off a disclaimer even though you're putting your number into a low any texts do you send to non-alloy users will be sent from a virtual number so you've either got some evangelizing to do or you forfeit any fun from this app once you do get into the app you get a few treats like the chef and whisper feature just hold on to that send button and slide up and down to play with font size and scribbling on your photos because your imaginative and I'm not an artist need otherwise say that aloe is pretty vanilla but there are two core features will concentrate on the first being incognito mode chatting as you would surmise it's encrypted hidden chat messages can disappear if you want them to and you can even choose how long they stay up before all evidence of a message being sent gets wiped away you can manually delete messages too if their time is come and quite importantly anyway a message preview would usually pop up say in a notification it won't show up in incognito chats too bad you can still screenshot though that needs a fix them also needing a few fixes is the preview edition of Google assistant it's basically Google at your beckon hang with in your conversation just with an at mention and to a point it does what Google promises to do search for things as you need them businesses and restaurants all come up in cards and dots get placed on a map it's all the works you can even talk to Google assistant in a separate thread if you need to it's really saving the hassle of saying let me google that and crossing apps to do so two things though well we're on preview mode what is that you can't share anything that Google knows about you with someone else I can't share deets about my flight to charlotte with the person i'm spending time with in charlotte also some of the last mile third-party features like reserving a table or buy movie tickets directly from a low aren't working yet we'll have to wait until open table and Fandango link up to see how things work with the bots and now we can say that it works like most other texting apps we hope more coverage on the way from pocket now stay tuned at our site or on socials I'm Jules wall
