Google has launched its messaging app 'Allo', which would compete with the likes of WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
Available for both Android and iOS platforms, Allo will also mark the debut of Google Assistant in a preview edition.
"Whether it is planning a night out or just catching up, we rely on messaging to stay in touch with friends and family every day. But too often we have to hit pause on our conversation - whether it is to check the status of a flight or look up that new restaurant. So we created Allo, a messaging app that helps you keep your conversation going, by providing assistance when you need it," Google Group Product Manager Amit Fulay said.
Powered with artificial intelligence, Allo packs in features including smart reply, options for sharing photos, emojis and stickers. For Indian users, Google has enabled smart replies in 'Hinglish'. It will also roll out over 200 stickers created by popular independent artists aimed at Indian users.
Google had announced Duo and Allo at its I/O event in May this year.
