Hello, Google Allo records your chats by default! Goodbye privacy

Only time will tell that.

The latest messaging app, Google Allo, is finally out.

Google Allo messaging, happens to be the prime use case for a mobile user. All the media files are stored in a folder on your device called Allo media for safe keeping. The app gives a glimpse of the voiced assistant.

Google has a very simple explanation to the way its new messaging app functions in terms of encryption and safety. Her first question was probably the same as everyone’s at this point, “Why would I need another messaging app?” There have been ups and downs in the app’s journey but it has so far managed to stay at the top despite tough competition and multiple other apps evolving for the younger generation. The receiver can actually send a text back through their normal text messaging app “for free”, but are encouraged to download Allo as well. The Google Assistant can help you with anything you want by searching the web for appropriate answers. Smart Reply suggests responses based on your conversation – just click the one you want, whether you’re a “LOL” or “hahaha” kind of person. Assistant even participate in your conversations as you summon it by simply entering @google. Google Allo is quite simply, the app that Google Hangouts should have been.

“What is #Allo? A Google app that records every message you ever send and makes it available to police upon request”, Snowden notes in one tweet. There’s a whole new level of secret coding and stuff involved and this is sure to send detective story fans into a tizzy. When you enter into this mode, you will be able to take advantage of private notifications as well as disappearing messages.

Allo does support end-to-end encryption, which should make it hard for anyone but recipient and sender to view the contents of messages: but Google was criticized by Snowden and other privacy advocates for setting it as off by default.

There would also be an incognito mode, similar to that on Google’s Chrome browser.

That means only the sender and recipient can read the messages. We can suddenly see a spike in secret plans and outings away from parent’s prying eyes… This can range from 5 seconds to one week. While Allo serves as an SMS relay to people who aren’t using Allo, along with receiving your message, the receiver is also harassed with information regarding the fact that you sent your message from Allo. The design is slicker snd there are options for advanced stickers, changing the size of text, images and so on. So bigger or smaller texts at will!

However, there is room to determine the time messages take to expire or rather get deleted. WhatsApp has often been criticised for not offering multiple-device support – not having the feature to use the same account on different devices has been a cause of annoyance for many WhatsApp users. Experience independent artists and studios we’ve partnered with around the world when you create custom sticker packs – because sometimes all you need is a “sloth riding a pizza” sticker that says it all.

After trying Duo out, it was time to wait for Allo. All this is part of standard messaging apps.
