I was a terrific idea to keep up with conversations, especially at work when it’s easier to look at your computer’s screen instead of sticking to your cell phone. Recently, WhatsApp added a new feature to open a virtual client tied to your phone number to be used when you are on a computer. After all, we are talking about a messaging app. The virtual assistant point should go for Allo, but there is no reason for WhatsApp to catch up on this one. However, the App is not intended to be a virtual assistant, but to be an App to share messages. So far, the most users testing Allo liked Google Assistant. You can chat with the Google Assistant, and ask him (or her?) anything you want to know. It emulates Siri’s intelligence (the virtual assistant from Apple). Virtual AssistantĪllo was released with a virtual assistant. Allo is making the point for private conversations, and WhatsApp should keep up with great ideas like this one.

Notifications will not be shown outside the application giving extra protection to protect your privacy. Another security feature is that you cannot take a screenshot when you are in this mode. You can configure your chat to be deleted without you taking further action. For those people who don’t want to forget to erase their conversations, it is very useful. Private ModeĪllo came with a new private mode. There is a privacy feature on Allo, but we will talk about it on our next point. Both Allo and WhatsApp encrypt messages before sending them, and there is no advantage on any side. EncryptionĪs for encryption, we will call it a tie. WhatsApp has nothing like it, so it is a point for Allo. As you chat more, Allo will be able to predict your responses better. You can just tap to select the answer, and it will save you some time and touches to keep up with a conversation. It is capable of analyzing the text you are writing and even images to suggest a reply (or many).

It is a more advanced functionality than the one set for predictive writing on Android, guessing full answers depending on the given situation. Predictive responsesĪn interesting feature for Allo is its capability to send pre-defined responses. That is why the Emoticon point goes to Hallo. You can send not just the traditional faces and icons, and that is a plus WhatsApp is not giving.

Where Allo took a step forward from WhatsApp is on its sticker support. They both use the standard set of emoticons with faces first and then some other icons. Both Google Allo and WhatsApp have full support for emoticons.
