Moreover, it also analyses photos received by you and suggests replies such as “You look beautiful”. This feature suggests texts and emojis based on your personality and the frequency of specific words used by you while chatting, such as ‘LOL’ instead of ‘Haha’, or ‘TTYL’ or ‘catch you soon’.

Get A Smart Personal Assistant Via Google Assistant:
Chats generally entail making plans with friends, colleagues or clients. For example, if you are planning for a weekend luncheon with your friends or a movie date, Google Assistant will assist you by suggesting restaurants nearby, including movie times. At the same time, you can also have a one-on-one interaction with your Google Assistant in Allo.
Though WhatsApp is already ruling the market today as the most-preferred messaging app, Google Allo’s new additional features may soon steal the limelight and take the lead globally. However, only time will tell if Allo will succeed in replacing WhatsApp or get lost in the muddle of bandwagon messaging apps.
