With WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, Telegram, Hike, WeChat, Line hogging your data to keep in touch with your loved ones; Google now has a brand new app to chat and get recommendations in real time with the much hyped ALLO. Google did have their 'Hangout' and 'Google Now' but this is different. Different how? This version of Google Assistant combines search and a sweet touch of AI. The best part it is you can call it up middle of a chat, check for recommendations or restaurants or even play games. The part that impressed us most: auto-suggestions for replies. There are some concerns about privacy particularly because this app does not have end-to-end encryption. Plus Google stores these data and file sharing isn't that easy as in Whatsapp or FB.
