~~If you received an SMS notification with a chat message from someone using Google Allo, you can download the app to reply and to start using the app yourself to message your friends.~~
~~If you don't want to download Allo, you can still reply to the SMS notification you received. The Allo user will be messaging you from the app, and your SMS responses will go to their app.~~
~~Play Store listing has also updated with new logo~~

Good thing you stopped since Google is axing Allo shortly anyway:
"Update: We'll stop supporting Allo in March 2019, Update your app so you can export your chats."
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball&hl=en_US
Allo is easily my most used app.
Samsung Internet Browser might be my best.
Not necessarily pixel exclusive, but you should install Google Allo and Duo. They're sort of Google's answer to iMessages and FaceTime, respectively. My wife and I use Allo exclusively when we chat.
Another feature is in the Google photos app, you can set it to automatically share your backed up photos with each other. Again, it's technically something you can do on any Android device or if you have the right ios app installed
> "now if only anyone used Allo"
That's because they launched it focusing on the emojis and drawing capabilities, and then later on they added "Incognito mode - Send messages with end-to-end encryption", which is great, but they failed to tell anyone that feature existed.
I'd be much more inclined to use Allo if the privacy features were the #1 feature, and all emojis/drawings/stickers were able to be disabled.
Is it even compatible with normal SMS, MMS, and Apple messages? If not, then that's a huge deal-breaker, except for the end-to-end encryption mode, obviously that can't be used with other services.

Using the Google Assistant in Google Allo for language learning.
You could cycle through various languages [en - de - pt - es - fr -en ] by saying:
[en - de] Speak German to me
[de - pt] Spreche Portugiesisch mit mir
[pt - es] fala espanhol comigo
[es - fr] háblame en francés
[fr- en] parle-moi en anglais
PS
One can supplement this by using Google's Voice Search after selecting additional languages.

They just updated the logo in the playstore!
Allo has rounded chat boxes, Messenger's are square.
The image on the Nougat page have square boxes, and there are multiple other differences.
If you don't mind texting instead of talking, a text-only preview version of Google Assistant is embedded in Google Allo.
If you want the exact same experience, you'll have to wait until Google releases it (if ever), or get a Nougat ROM for the OP3 and follow this.
if you look here on the play store page for allo, 2.0 is up but it's not compatible with any of my devices. Interesting

Google Allo. Google tends to take care to make its cross-platform apps compatible, and sometimes the iOS version is more feature-packed.
> If Google created a data messaging service that integrates appropriately with Google assistant, and naturally had an iPhone app it would take off immediately.
Hmm, sounds familiar...
Long pressing the home button on select phones running Android 6.0+ should open Assistant. If you're on an older or unsupported phone, you can always get Allo, which contains Assistant.
> Roadmap for allowing non-Pixel owners to use Google Assistant
Any Android user can use Google Assistant right now. Download Google Allo from the play store.
Yep, they have an app called Allo coming soon that should be a messenger solar to iMessage. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball
Yesterday they released Duo, which for lack of a better description is a FaceTime competitor.
I am pretty sure it is real, it even has the proper ratings for the apps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball&hl=en

The app is called Allo (iOS version), (Android version). It's a messaging app made by Google
Tons of neat features in it but that right there is called Google Assistant. You can ask it questions and it'll respond right in the app either talking just to it or in a convo with someone else.
For instance if I'm talking to my friend, I can do this and we both see it.
It's built into their messaging program Allo
Which to be honest I only use currently for the assistant
Google Allo est disponible sur Android !
pour demander quelque chose au robot de conversation de Google dans un dialogue avec un ami il suffit de taper "@google" puis une question en anglais
Est-ce que quelqu'un peut me dire si l'appli est dispo sur iOS ?

Um... why are there user reviews on the Play Store page for Allo? I think some dogfooding is going on...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball
site officiel : https://allo.google.com/
par contre j'arrive pas à gérer les SMS dans Google Allo :-(
edit :
Google "assistant" (les robots de discussion de Google dans la conversation ne sont pour l'instant dispo qu'en anglais :-( Cela permet d'effectuer des recherches sur Google dans la messagerie.
extraits du test fait par Le Monde (l'embargo médias s'est fini se matin) :
> Le logiciel est censé s’améliorer avec le temps, et s’inspirer de vos propres réponses pour vous en suggérer de plus pertinentes. Ainsi, si vous exprimez le rire par « hu hu » plutôt que « ha ha », elle finira par s’adapter.
> la fonction de recherche intégrée à l’application permet dans certains cas d’éviter des allées et venues laborieuses entre votre navigateur et votre application de messagerie. L’exemple parfait étant par exemple la recherche d’un restaurant. Si vous évoquez, avec votre interlocuteur, l’idée de déguster un burger, Allo vous proposera une série d’établissements de ce type autour de vous.
> Mais Assistant peut aussi devenir un interlocuteur à part, avec lequel vous pouvez échanger dans Allo. Dans un espace classique de chat, vous pouvez poser à l’intelligence artificielle toutes les questions que vous souhaitez. Celle-ci puise ensuite dans les masses de données gigantesques dont dispose Google pour vous fournir une réponse. Et, contrairement à d’autres programmes de ce type, Assistant est capable de mémoriser en partie le contexte. Par exemple :
« Qui est le PDG de Facebook ? — Le PDG de Facebook est Mark Zuckerberg. — Quel âge a-t-il ? — Il a 32 ans. — Quel âge a sa femme ? — Priscilla Chan a 31 ans. »
> ce chatbot est un petit cran au-dessus de ceux auxquels les journalistes du Monde ont été habitués.
> Certaines fonctionnalités sont impressionnantes : Google a par exemple mis à disposition d’Assistant sa technologie de reconnaissance d’images. Envoyez-lui une photode navire prise par vos soins à Saint-Malo, et Assistant est capable de reconnaître non seulement qu’il s’agit d’un bateau, mais aussi qu’il s’agit, très précisément, de l’Etoile du Roy
> Allo devrait encore progresser et affiner ses réponses au gré des utilisations. D’autant plus que l’application peut mémoriser, si vous le demandez, certaines informations personnelles.
« Le nom de mon père est Francis. — OK, je m’en souviendrai. — Comment s’appelle mon père ? — Vous m’avez dit que le nom de votre père était Francis. »
(un peu flippant)
You can also use it in Google Allo.
You can download Google Allo (text messaging app) and it comes with it.
Allo is a messaging app that is basically Google's take on iMessage.
You enter your cell phone # and then it sends you a confirmation text. If you gave it permission to read your texts, it enters the confirmation code for you. If not, you have to enter it yourself.
The contacts permission is to identify those you send and receive messages from.
The camera/media permission is because, well, you can send pictures and videos, and use a profile picture.
The reason they need all this information (vs a regular text app, which technically only needs read/send SMS permissions and view contacts, although if you know all your #s you can do without that one) is because this is Google's competitor to iMessage.
If you and someone else are both using Allo, it'll be delivered via Google, which allows for rich text encoding and better multimedia features (see this and this for more info). They use cell phone #s because more people have cell #s than Google accounts, especially in developing countries. If you have Allo but the other person does not, it displays this message:
>punctuwation (+11234567890) added you on Google Allo to chat. Text HELP to learn more or STOP to unsubscribe.
>https://support.google.com/allo/answer/6376011
>punctuwation: (message)
(I have 2 #s, so I tested this with my second #. They send it from the SMS short code 21475.)
TL;DR - sorry, there really is nothing fishy going on here.
If I could get WiFi messaging to work, I'd probably dump Allo.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball
Haha, you should try Google Allo!
You can also use it in Google Allo.
Download Allo.
Speculation is that since reviews are cropping up for the app in the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball&hl=en) release might be imminent.
You can subscribe and get notification when Allo is available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball&hl=en

Vous avez peut-être vu que la messagerie Google Allo était maintenant disponible sur Desktop (PC/Web) : https://allo.google.com/web
Si la page ne charge pas n'hésitez pas à vider le cache de votre navigateur web.
Je crois que Google allô Desktop ne marche que sur Chrome & nécessite un téléphone Android (même si Google Allo existe sur iPhone/iOS).
Google Allo intègre Google Assistant, l'intelligence de Google
N'hésitez pas à essayer Google Allo (sur Android ou iOS) avant de downvoter parce que vous n'aimez pas Google.
Si vous êtes soucieux de votre vie privée vous devez savoir qu'il y a un "mode incognito" dans Google Allo avec chiffrement.

You can have it install when released
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball
Looks like they are:

Go here to preregister and get a notification when it's released.
You can pre-register for Allo now. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball&hl=en
Heres a few
Specifically the "Thanks again" just seems passive aggressive. I would think it was just a copy paste and that they respond to 5 star reviews that way too, but I didn't see them responding to any 5 star reviews, just the 1-2 star ones.
Aaaand Allo is there too.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball
The Allo app on Google Play Store brings you the Google Assistant, preview edition.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball&hl=en
For users without root: just install Allo: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball
UPD: it will not enable all functions (like quick run from the navbar). It just give you chance to chat with assistant inside the app
Download Allo. It has the Google assistant built in.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball
Pretty useless tbh. Mostly Google fanboys use it
They rename Allo and change to Fireball ?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.fireball
Look the last word on the link
Is it the "pre-register" button on the playstore? (Instead of "Download," the button says "pre-register") If so, you commentors above are lazy fucks. :)
